6 == DNS and DHCP configuration
8 The _dnsmasq_ and dhcpd configuration is located in **'/etc/config/dhcp'** and controls both DNS and DHCP server options on the device.
10 In the default configuration this file contains one _common section_ to specify DNS and daemon related options and one or more _DHCP pools_ to define DHCP ranges serving on network interfaces.
14 Possible section types of the 'dhcp' configuration file are defined below. Not all types may appear in the file and most of them are only needed for special configurations. The common ones are the _Common Options_, the _DHCP Pools_ and _Static Leases_.
18 The config section type 'dnsmasq' determines values and options relevant to the overall operation of dnsmasq and the DHCP options on all interfaces served. The following table lists all available options, their default value, as well as the corresponding _dnsmasq_ command line option. See link:http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html[the dnsmasq man page] for further details.
20 These are the default settings for the common options:
27 option localise_queries 1
28 option rebind_protection 1
29 option rebind_localhost 0
34 option authoritative 1
36 option leasefile '/tmp/dhcp.leases'
37 option resolvfile '/tmp/resolv.conf.auto'
40 * Options 'local' and 'domain' enable _dnsmasq_ to serve entries in '/etc/hosts' as well as the DHCP client's names as if they were entered into the _lan_ DNS domain.
41 * Options 'domainneeded', 'boguspriv', 'localise_queries', and 'expandhosts' make sure that requests for these local host names (and the reverse lookup) never get forwarded to the upstream DNS servers.
42 * Option 'authoritative' makes the router the only DHCP server on this network; clients get their IP lease a lot faster this way.
43 * Option 'leasefile' stores the leases in a file, so that they can be picked up again if _dnsmasq_ is restarted.
44 * Option 'resolvfile' tells _dnsmasq_ to use this file to find upstream name servers; it gets created by the WAN DHCP client or the PPP client.
47 [cols="4*1,4",options="header"]
49 | Name | Type | Default | Option | Description
50 | 'add_local_domain' | boolean | '1' | | Add the local domain as search directive in resolv.conf.
51 | 'add_local_hostname' | boolean | '1' | | Add A and PTR records automatically for the local hostname.
52 | 'addnhosts' | list of file paths | _(none)_ | '-H' | Additional host files to read for serving DNS responses
53 | 'authoritative' | boolean | '0' | '-K' | Force _dnsmasq_ into authoritative mode. This speeds up DHCP leasing. Used if this is the only server on the network
54 | 'bogusnxdomain' | list of IP addresses | _(none)_ | '-B' | IP addresses to convert into NXDOMAIN responses (to counteract upstream DNS servers that never return NXDOMAIN).
55 | 'boguspriv' | boolean | '0' | '-b' | Reject reverse lookups to private IP ranges where no corresponding entry exists in '/etc/hosts'
56 | 'cachelocal' | boolean | '1' | | When set to '0', use each network interface's 'dns' address in the local '/etc/resolv.conf'. Normally, only the loopback address is used, and all queries go through _dnsmasq_.
57 | 'cachesize' | integer | '150' | '-c' | Size of _dnsmasq_ query cache.
58 | 'dbus' | boolean | '0' | '-1' | Enable DBus messaging for _dnsmasq_. *CAUTION*: Standard builds of _dnsmasq_ do not include DBus support.

66 | 'dnsseccheckunsigned' | boolean | '0' | --dnssec-check-unsigned | Check the zones of unsigned replies to ensure that unsigned replies are allowed in those zones. This protects against an attacker forging unsigned replies for signed DNS zones, but is slower and requires that the nameservers upstream of _dnsmasq_ are DNSSEC-capable. *CAUTION*: Requires the _dnsmasq-full_ package.
67 | 'ednspacket_max' | integer | '1280' | '-P' | Specify the largest EDNS.0 UDP packet which is supported by the DNS forwarder

86 | 'readethers' | boolean | '0' | '-Z' | Read static lease entries from '/etc/ethers', re-read on SIGHUP
87 | 'rebind_protection' | boolean | '1' | --stop-dns-rebind | Enables DNS rebind attack protection by discarding upstream RFC1918 responses
88 | 'rebind_localhost' | boolean | '0' | --rebind-localhost-ok | Allows upstream 127.0.0.0/8 responses, required for DNS based blacklist services, only takes effect if rebind protection is enabled
89 | 'rebind_domain' | list of domain names | _(none)_ | --rebind-domain-ok | List of domains to allow RFC1918 responses for, only takes effect if rebind protection is enabled

98 Sections of the type 'dhcp' specify per interface lease pools and settings for serving DHCP requests. Typically there is at least one section of this type present in the '/etc/config/dhcp' file to cover the lan interface.
100 You can disable a lease pool for a specific interface by specifying the 'ignore' option in the corresponding section.
102 A minimal example of a 'dhcp' section is listed below:
106 option 'interface' 'lan'
109 option 'leasetime' '12h'
114 * 'lan' specifies the LEDE interface that is served by this DHCP pool
115 * '100' is the offset from the network address, in the default configuration this would mean start leasing addresses from '192.168.1.100'
116 * '150' is the maximum number of addresses that may be leased, in the default configuration this would mean leasing addresses up to '192.168.1.250'
117 * '12h' specifies the time to live for handed out leases, twelve hours in this example
118 * 'server' defines the mode for IPv6 configuration (RA & DHCPv6)
120 Below is a listing of legal options for 'dhcp' sections.
122 [cols="4*1,4",options="header"]
124 | Name | Type | Required | Default | Description
125 | 'dhcp_option' | list of strings | no | _(none)_ | The ID dhcp_option here must be with written with an underscore. The init script will translate this to --dhcp-option, with a hyphen, as ultimately used by dnsmasq. Multiple option values can be given for this _network-id_, with a a space between them and the total string between "". E.g. '26,1470' or 'option:mtu, 1470' that can assign an MTU per DHCP. Your client must accept MTU by DHCP for this to work. Or "3,192.168.1.1 6,192.168.1.1" to give out gateway and dns server addresses.
126 | 'dynamicdhcp' | boolean | no | '1' | Dynamically allocate client addresses, if set to '0' only clients present in the 'ethers' files are served
127 | 'force' | boolean | no | '0' | Forces DHCP serving on the specified interface even if another DHCP server is detected on the same network segment
128 | 'ignore' | boolean | no | '0' | Specifies whether _dnsmasq_ should ignore this pool if set to '1'
129 | 'dhcpv6' | string | no | 'none' | Specifies whether DHCPv6 server should be enabled ('server'), relayed ('relay') or disabled ('disabled')
130 | 'ra' | string | no | 'none' | Specifies whether Router Advertisements should be enabled ('server'), relayed ('relay') or disabled ('disabled')
131 | 'ndp' | string | no | 'none' | Specifies whether NDP should be relayed 'relay' or disabled 'none'
132 | 'master' | boolean | no | 0 | Specifies whether DHCPv6, RA and NDP in relay mode is a master interface or not.
133 | 'interface' | logical interface name | yes | _(none)_ | Specifies the interface associated with this DHCP address pool; must be one of the interfaces defined in '/etc/config/network'.
134 | 'leasetime' | string | yes | '12h' | Specifies the lease time of addresses handed out to clients, for example '12h' or '30m'
135 | 'limit' | integer | yes | '150' | Specifies the size of the address pool (e.g. with start=100, limit=150, maximum address will be .249)
136 | 'networkid' | string | no | _(value of 'interface')_ | The dhcp functionality defined in the dhcp section is limited to the interface indicated here through its _network-id_. In case omitted the system tries to know the network-id via the 'interface' setting in this dhcp section, through consultation of /etc/config/network. Some IDs get assigned dynamically, are not provided by network, but still can be set here.
137 | 'start' | integer | yes | '100' | Specifies the offset from the network address of the underlying interface to calculate the minimum address that may be leased to clients. It may be greater than 255 to span subnets.
142 * Although called 'interface', this is the network name, i.e. lan, wan, wifi etc. (section names in /etc/config/network), NOT the interface name used internally, like eth0, eth1, wlan0 etc. (the 'ifname' IDs in /etc/config/network).
143 * Although called 'networkid', this is the interface name used internally, i.e. eth0, eth1, wlan0 etc., not the network name (lan, wan, wifi etc.).
144 This departs from 'ifname' and 'network' as used in /etc/config/network and in /etc/config/wireless, so double check!
148 You can assign fixed IP addresses to hosts on your network, based on their MAC (hardware) address.
150 The configuration options in this section are used to construct a '-G' option for _dnsmasq_.
154 option ip '192.168.1.2'
155 option mac '00:11:22:33:44:55'
158 This adds the fixed IP address 192.168.1.2 and the name "mypc" for a machine with the (Ethernet) hardware address 00:11:22:33:44:55.
162 option ip '192.168.1.3'
163 option mac '11:22:33:44:55:66 aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff'
164 option name 'mylaptop'
166 This adds the fixed IP address 192.168.1.3 and the name "mylaptop" for a machine with the (Ethernet) hardware address 11:22:33:44:55:66 or aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff. Note that this is **unreliable** if more than one of the listed mac addresses is on the network simultaneously. It's useful for cases such as a laptop with both wireless and wired interfaces, provided that only one will be active at a given time.
168 [cols="4*1,4",options="header"]
170 | Name | Type | Required | Default | Description
171 | 'ip' | string | yes | _(none)_ | 'ignore' or the IP address to be used for this host.
172 | 'mac' | string | no | _(none)_ | The hardware address(es) of this host, separated by commas.
173 | 'hostid' | string | no | _(none)_ | The IPv6 interface identifier (address suffix) as hexadecimal number (max. 8 chars)
174 | 'duid' | string | no | _(none)_ | The DHCPv6-DUID of this host.
175 | 'name' | string | no | _(none)_ | Optional hostname to assign.
176 | 'tag' | string | no | _(none)_ | Set the given tag for matching hosts.
177 | 'dns' | boolean | no | '0' | Add static forward and reverse DNS entries for this host.
178 | 'broadcast' | boolean | no | '0' | Force broadcast DHCP response.
179 | 'leasetime' | string | no | _(none)_ | Host-specific lease time, e.g. 2m, 3h, 5d. Note: introduced by r48801 in trunk
182 As well as adding 'host' sections, you can also enable the 'dnsmasq' section option 'readethers', and add entries to the '/etc/ethers' file.
184 === DHCP OPTION example to set an alternative default gateway
186 You can specify an alternative default Gateway
190 option 'interface' 'lan'
193 option 'leasetime' '12h'
194 list 'dhcp_option' '3,192.168.1.2'
197 use the list 'dhcp_option' '3,192.168.1.2' to set the default gateway. A list of options can be found here link:http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/bootp/options.htm[here]
201 Some hosts support booting over the network (PXE booting). DHCP/BOOTP is used to tell the host which file to boot and the server to load it from. Each client can only receive one set of filename and server address options. If different hosts should boot different files, or boot from different servers, you can use _network-ids_ to map options to each client.
203 Usually, you need to set additional DHCP options (through 'dhcp_option') for further stages of the boot process. See the _dnsmasq_ man page for details on the syntax of the 'O' option.
205 The configuration options in this section are used to construct a '-M' option for _dnsmasq_.
207 *Note*: odhcp currently lacks support root-path specification. If you need this functionality, disable odhcpd and use dnsmasq instead.
211 option filename '/tftpboot/pxelinux.0'
212 option serveraddress '192.168.1.2'
213 option servername 'fileserver'
214 list dhcp_option 'option:root-path,192.168.1.2:/data/netboot/root'
216 This tells the client to load pxelinux.0 from the server at 192.168.1.2, and mount root from /data/netboot/root on the same server.
217 [cols="4*1,4",options="header"]
219 | Name | Type | Required | Default | Description
220 | 'dhcp_option' | list of strings | no | _(none)_ | Additional options to be added for this network-id. *CAUTION*: If you specify this, you also need to specify the network-id.
221 | 'filename' | string | yes | _(none)_ | The filename the host should request from the boot server.
222 | 'networkid' | string | no | _(none)_ | The network-id these boot options should apply to. Applies to all clients if left unspecified.
223 | 'serveraddress' | string | yes | _(none)_ | The IP address of the boot server.
224 | 'servername' | string | yes | _(none)_ | The hostname of the boot server.
225 | 'force' | bool | no | _(none)_ | dhcp-option will always be sent, even if the client does not ask for it in the parameter request list. This is sometimes needed, for example when sending options to PXELinux.
228 === Classifying Clients And Assigning Individual Options
230 DHCP can provide the client with numerous options, such as the domain name, NTP servers, network booting options, etc. While some settings are applicable to all hosts in a network segment, other are more specific and apply only to a group of hosts, or even only a single one. _dnsmasq_ offers to group DHCP options and their values by a _network-id_, an alphanumeric identifier, and sending options only to hosts which have been tagged with that _network-id_.
232 In LEDE, you can tag hosts by the DHCP range they're in (section 'dhcp'), or a number of options the client might send with their DHCP request. In each of these sections, you can use the 'dhcp_option' list to add DHCP options to be sent to hosts with this _network-id_.
234 Each classifying section has two configuration options: the value of the DHCP option used to distinguish clients, and the _network-id_ that these clients should be tagged with. Here's a template:
238 option _classifier_ '_value_'
239 option networkid '_network-id_'
240 list dhcp_option '_DHCP-option_'
243 The placeholder '_classifier_' can be one of these values:
244 [cols="1,4",options="header"]
246 | Classifier | Description
247 | 'mac' | Hardware address of the client
248 | 'vendorclass' | String sent by the client representing the vendor of the client. _dnsmasq_ performs a substring match on the vendor class string using this value.
249 | 'userclass' | String sent by the client representing the user of the client. _dnsmasq_ performs a substring match on the user class string using this value.
250 | 'circuitid' | Matches the circuit ID as sent by the relay agent, as defined in RFC3046.
251 | 'remoteid' | Matches the remote ID as sent by the relay agent, as defined in RFC3046.
252 | 'subscrid' | Matches the subscriber ID as sent by the relay agent, as defined in RFC3993.
256 An example using the 'mac' classifier to create a tagged network for openvpn would look like this in the config file:
260 option mac '00:FF:*:*:*:*'
261 option networkid 'opnvpn'
269 dhcp.opnvpn.mac=00:FF:*:*:*:*
270 dhcp.opnvpn.networkid=opnvpn
271 dhcp.opnvpn.dhcp_option=3
274 _DHCP-option_ adds a DHCP option for this _network-id_. See the _dnsmasq_ man page for a complete explanation of the syntax of the '-O' option.
276 _force_ is a bool option. It forces dhcp-option to always be sent, even if the client does not ask for it in the parameter request list. This is sometimes needed, for example when sending options to PXELinux.
279 == Using plain dnsmasq.conf
281 It is possible to mix the traditional '/etc/dnsmasq.conf' configuration file with the options found in '/etc/config/dhcp'.
283 The 'dnsmasq.conf' file does not exist by default but will be processed by _dnsmasq_ on startup if it is present. Note that options in '/etc/config/dhcp' take precedence over 'dnsmasq.conf' since they are translated to command line arguments.
285 You can have 'dnsmasq' execute a script on every action:
288 dhcp-script=/sbin/action.sh
291 === DNS and DHCP Ports
293 DNS needs TCP and UDP port 53 open on the firewall. DHCP needs UDP ports 67 and 68 open from your zone to/from the firewall. See http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/recipes/guest-wlan and http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html (viz "--dhcp-alternate-port") for more information.
297 === Static Lease (MAC address hot swap)
299 Define a static lease for a host with MAC addresses '00:a0:24:5a:33:69' and '00:11:22:33:44:55' (handy when you use both wired and wireless connection on the same computer/laptop - of course, you can use just one MAC address) and assign the IP address '192.168.1.230' and the hostname 'example-host' to it. We call this _MAC address hot swap_, since IP address stay same, but MAC address changes.
303 option 'name' 'example-host'
304 option 'ip' '192.168.1.230'
305 option 'mac' '00:a0:24:5a:33:69 00:11:22:33:44:55'
308 === Troubleshooting ===
310 *CAUTION*: **Windows 7** has introduced a new _Microsoft-enhanced_ feature. It won't assign IP address obtained from a DHCP server to an interface, if the IP was used before for another interface, even if that other interface is **NOT** active currently (i.e. cable disconnected). This behaviour is unique and was not reported for older Windows versions, Mac OS nor Linux.
312 If you try configure MAC address hot swap on your router, Windows 7 clients will end up in an infinite link:http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1531#section-3.1[DORA] loop.
315 - Create a bridge from the wireless and ethernet interfaces on your client
317 * it's trivial: google->windows 7 create bridge
318 * you will have to add the MAC address of the bridge to '/etc/config/dhcp'
322 option 'name' 'example-host'
323 option 'ip' '192.168.1.230'
324 option 'mac' '00:a0:24:5a:33:69 00:11:22:33:44:55 02:a0:24:5a:33:69 02:11:22:33:44:55'
326 * Since the bridge will probably take and alter your ethernet MAC address, you will lose SLAAC on wifi interface, making your laptop IPv6-disabled when only wireless is up.
327 - Another solution is IPv6 friendly, you don't need to create a bridge, nor add MAC address to dnsmasq config file, but it involves user interaction:
328 * When you plug the ethernet cable in, disable wireless interface in control panel (power off wireless won't do it).
329 * When you unplug ethernet cable, enable wireless and disable ethernet.
333 * http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/windows-7-refuses-dhcp-addresses-if-they-were/1b72b289-0f58-492f-afb8-e76c80a81f00
334 * _force_ is a bool option that will force dhcp-option to always be sent, even if the client does not ask for it in the parameter request list. This is sometimes needed, for example when sending options to PXELinux.
336 === Only allow static leases
338 If you want to distribute IPv4 addresses to known clients only (static leases), use:
346 With this, dnsmasq will consider static leases defined in "config host" blocks and in /etc/ethers, and refuse to hand out any IPv4 address to unknown clients.
348 Note that you shouldn't use this as a security feature to prevent unwanted clients from connecting. A client can simply configure a static IP in the right range to have access to the network.
352 Define a custom domain name and the corresponding PTR record - assigns the IP address '192.168.1.140' to the domain name 'typhoon' and construct an appropriate reverse record '140.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa'. It works like an entry in '/etc/hosts' but more flexible
355 *CAUTION*: Note that this currently only works for IPv4 addresses and that this functionality is not present in release prior to 8.09.2 .
356 *CAUTION*: Note that reverse records are not properly generated at present. (Barrier Breaker 14.07-RC2)
360 option 'name' 'typhoon'
361 option 'ip' '192.168.1.140'
364 another example: redirect www.example.com to 1.2.3.4
367 option 'name' 'www.example.com'
368 option 'ip' '1.2.3.4'
373 To define an SRV record for SIP over UDP, with the default port of 5060 on the host pbx.mydomain.com, with a class of 0 and a weight of 10 one would use:
377 option srv '_sip._udp.mydomain.com'
378 option target 'pbx.mydomain.com'
386 A Canonical Name record specifies that a domain name is an alias for another domain, the "canonical" domain. To specify that the web server also doubles as the FTP server, one might use:
390 option cname 'ftp.example.com'
391 option target 'www.example.com'
393 Note that it is necessary to use fully qualified domain names.
397 If you're running the mail server for your domain behind a firewall (and therefore, with split-horizon for your own domain) then you might need to convince that mailer that it's actually authoritative for your domain.
399 If sendmail tells you "Domain of sender address xxx@yyy.zzz does not exist" this is because it isn't finding an MX record confirming that it's an MX relay for that domain.
405 option domain 'yyy.zzz'
406 option relay 'my.host.com'
410 will mitigate the issues caused by split-horizon.
414 Direct BOOTP requests to the TFTP server at the IP address '192.168.1.2' and use '/tftpboot/pxelinux.0' as boot file name.
418 option 'filename' 'pxelinux.0'
419 option 'servername' 'data'
420 option 'serveraddress' '192.168.1.2'
423 === Multiple DHCP options
425 Multiple DHCP options can be configured under a single dhcp_option object. In this case, option 66 (tftp-server) and option 150 (multiple tftp servers) were used for a Cisco Callmanager deployment.
429 option 'interface' 'lan'
432 option 'leasetime' '600h'
433 list 'dhcp_option' '66,172.16.60.64'
434 list 'dhcp_option' '150,172.16.60.64'
437 === Multiple DHCP/DNS server/forwarder instances
439 If you need multiple DNS forwarders with different configurations or DHCP server with different sets of lease files,
440 have a look at this link:https:_dev.openwrt.org/ticket/8862[patch].
441 Multiple dnsmasq "named" instances can be configured:
443 config 'dnsmasq' 'hotspot'
444 option nonwildcard '1' # Tell dnsmasq to bind specific address(es)
445 option resolvfile '/tmp/resolv.conf.hotspot'
449 Your configs are usually active for all instances, but you can limit them to single instances by:
452 option 'interface' 'lan'
453 option 'dnsmasq_config' 'hotspot'
457 option 'mac' '00:00:00:00:00:00'
458 option 'ip' '192.168.1.66'
459 option 'dnsmasq_config' 'hotspot'
462 The web interface (luci) has not been updated for this patch yet.
464 === Assigning DHCP pool to a subnet in a large network
466 In DHCP pool limit setting, the start and limit values do *not* refer to the "last digit", they're relative offsets to the network address.
467 * the network address of 10.0.0.1 / 255.0.0.0 is 10.0.0.0
468 * the 10.22.0.1 start address is 22 x /16 subnets away: (2^16) * 22 = 1441792
469 * 10.0.0.0 + 1441792 + 1 = 10.22.0.1 -> start = 1441793
470 * 10.22.0.254 - 10.22.0.1 = 253 -> limit = 253
482 root@lede:~# ipcalc.sh 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 1441793 253
485 BROADCAST=10.255.255.255
493 === Classifying Clients And Assigning Individual Options
495 Assign different dhcp-options to a single MAC address:
500 set dhcp.@mac[-1].mac=00:11:22:33:44:55
501 set dhcp.@mac[-1].networkid=someone
502 add_list dhcp.@mac[-1].dhcp_option=6,192.168.1.3,192.168.1.2,192.168.1.1
503 add_list dhcp.@mac[-1].dhcp_option=3,192.168.1.2
504 add_list dhcp.@mac[-1].dhcp_option=44,192.168.1.3
508 /etc/init.d/dnsmasq reload
510 Where 6=DNS, 3=Default Gateway, 44=WINS
512 Assign different dhcp-options to multiple hosts:
517 option mac '00:21:63:75:aa:17'
518 option ip '10.11.12.14'
519 option tag 'vpn' # assign tag "vpn" to this host
523 option mac '01:22:64:76:bb:18'
524 option ip '10.11.12.15'
525 option tag 'vpn' # assign tag "vpn" to this host
527 config tag 'vpn' # match tag "vpn"
528 list dhcp_option '6,8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4' # assign arbitrary extra dhcp options to this tag
529 option force '1' #dhcp-option will always be sent, even if the client does not ask for it in the parameter request list. This is sometimes needed, for example when sending options to PXELinux.
532 *CAUTION*: Specifying a dhcp option without any value, would disable that option. so for example you can use:
536 to disable sending a default gateway to a specific client
538 === Enabling DHCP without enabling DNS
540 This is useful when you just want to hand out addresses to clients, without doing any DNS.
549 The second option prevents dnsmasq from giving out a domain name and DNS search list to clients: this is useless without DNS resolving.
551 Of course, you will want to hand out the address of a DNS resolver to clients:
557 list dhcp_option "6,80.67.188.188,6,80.67.169.12"
558 list dns "2001:913::8"
559 list dns "2001:910:800::12"
562 The `dhcp_option` entry is meant for dnsmasq, while the more elegant `dns` entries are understood by odhcpd. By default, odhcpd is only used for IPv6, but if you also use odhcpd for IPv4, you can just use `dns` entries for everything.
564 === Several DNS servers
568 option domainneeded '1'
569 option localise_queries '1'
572 option expandhosts '1'
573 option authoritative '1'
574 option readethers '1'
575 option leasefile '/tmp/dhcp.leases'
576 option resolvfile '/tmp/resolv.conf.auto'
577 list server '/subdomain.example.com/192.0.2.1'
578 #be careful that some options should be absent (or set to False)
579 #to allow the forwarding towards the "so defined" private networks
580 #http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network
581 # likely 'bogusprivat'
582 list server '/example.com/208.67.222.222'
583 option rebind_protection '0'
586 === Conditional DNS Forwarding for Windows Active Directory Domains / DNS Dependent Directory Based Authentication Services
588 1. Install dnsmasq using your local package manager
589 2. Edit /etc/dnsmasq.conf
590 . Tells dnsmasq to forward anything with the domain of remote.local to dns server 10.25.11.2
591 server=/remote.local/10.25.11.2
592 . Listen to requests only coming from the local machine
593 listen-address=127.0.0.1
594 . Do not cache anything
595 . A decent dns server will already cache for your local network
597 3. Edit /etc/resolv.conf
602 . local dnsmasq server
605 . Your main dns server (dnsmasq will forward all requests to this server)
609 5. Test – ping a local server and remote server using the FQDN
611 All dns requests will be forwarded to 10.20.1.1 except any matching *.remote.local. server.remote.local will be forwarded to 10.25.11.2

646 Almost completed, Now on to the finalisation of the /etc/resolv.conf Traditionally /etc/resolv.conf is populated via symlink based on interface settings which get inserted via script into /tmp/resolv.conf. We're going to disable this symlink because without doing so it would override our static settings.
648 You'll want to remove /etc/resolv.conf
649 That will remove the resolv.conf symlink. Then we will add the ip address of the secondary DNS and external resolving address inside the /etc/resolv.conf file finally establishing conditional forwarding, something that should be specified for easy configuration via the GUI.
