I have DNSMASQ configured to run on a CentOS 4 server. It is acting as
both the DNS and DHCP server. All is working fine, except that when I
connect another linux machine to the network, the host name on the
client machine doesn't show up in the dnsmasq.leases file. Instead I
get:
1166770800 00:14:22:9b:10:47 172.16.41.40 * *
Because of the above, I cannot ping the linux machine by machine name.
When I plug a Windows XP machine into the network I get correct
hostname resolution
1166770990 00:16:17:a8:c4:23 172.16.189.188 pommel
01:00:16:17:a8:c4:23
In this case, I can ping the machine named "pommel". The linux machines
host file is:
127.0.0.1 MYLINUXBOX localhost
localhost.localdomain
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Below is the settings in my
dnsmasq.conf file.
