Thread: 1st steps in understanding DNS: dnsmaq. Name resolution not working: unknown host

hi everybody...

i'm studying dns , i've decided try , understand dnsmasq before getting deeper bind.

installation , configuration snap (imho great sbs installation) doesn't work expect.

here's config file:

code:

addn-hosts=/etc/dnshosts  no-hosts  server=/dns/192.168.1.128  domain=home.local  interface=eth0  expand-hosts  dhcp-range=192.168.1.10,192.168.1.20,255.255.255.0,48h    # router  dhcp-option=3,192.168.1.1    # set netbios-over-tcp/ip nameserver(s) aka wins server(s)  dhcp-option=44,192.168.1.128    # netbios datagram distribution server  dhcp-option=45,192.168.1.128  dhcp-option=46,8 # netbios node type  dhcp-option=47 # empty netbios scope    # dns  dhcp-option=6,192.168.1.128  dhcp-option=15,home.local    #dhcp-lease-max=500  mx-host=dns.home.local,50  mx-target=dns.home.local  localmx  log-queries  log-dhcp  strict-order  dhcp-authoritative

and here's small /etc/dnshosts file:

code:

192.168.1.128 dns home.local  192.168.1.1 router

ip address assigned correctly...

when try nslookup client get:

nslookup dns

localhost:~ pitto$ nslookup dns
server: 192.168.1.128
address: 192.168.1.128#53

name: dns
address: 192.168.1.128

perfect.

ping

code:

ping dns

wham

code:

unknown host

o_o

why?

none knows why rebooting client solved problem

excuse me wasting everyone's time.
