I am trying to set up a small "lab" at home. Like many modern homes, I have a regular DSL service which comes with a 2Wire 3600HGV router, which acts also as a DHCP server.
Hello,
When I activate a shared connection in NetworkManager, it runs dnsmsq with an empty config file according to the ps axww output:
/usr/sbin/dnsmasq --conf-file --no-hosts --keep-in-foreground --bind-interfaces --except-interface=lo --clear-on-reload --strict-order --listen-address=10.42.0.1 --dhcp-range=10.42.0.10,10.42.0.100,60m --dhcp-option=option:router,10.42.0.1 --dhcp-lease-max=5
Making server for school. ISP is PPPoe. internet-modem/router-server-WAN(eth0)-LAN(eth2)-switch-clients. eth0 is dhcp. eth2 is static 10.10.0.1 255.255.255.0.
I am attemting to use dnsmasq to create dns caching and dhcp on LAN.
I commented out dns-dnsmasq in NM, downloaded and installed dnsmasq, and configured dnsmasq.conf, but no caching and no dhcp.
I took down my DHCP server to change some stuff, and after bringing it back up (down for 15 mins or so), I noticed that four other Ubuntu 12.04 servers set to use DHCP were unreachable. Running ifconfig on them returned just lo, so the eth0 and eth1 had been disabled.
I'm assuming the DHCP server missing caused them to shutdown the interface?

Dnsmasq is a lightweight server designed to provide DNS (and optionally DHCP and TFTP) services to a small-scale network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS.
So I've configured my home connections to work with dnsmasq since it bundles a dhcp server with it and is quite nice to set up.
There is another package - isc-dhcp-... that also does this and perhaps is its intended purpose.
What am I losing out on?
Server Terminal: Fedora 11
Client Terminal: Opensuse 11.1
I had Dnsmasq server running for a while now and only thing I changed since on the DNS/DHCP server is running fwbuilder script at startup in init. The fwbuilder script is still the same script I have been using since setting up Dnsmasq. The client terminal is having trouble reaching the outside world.
I have an existing LAN with a DHCP server already dishing out IP addresses.
For various reasons I cannot replace that server so it will still need to dish out IP addresses.
I've been experimenting with dnsmasq in proxy mode to provide PXE boot filenames.
Now I have dnsmasq chainloading iPXE ok, but I found that the problem with dnsmasq is that in proxy mode it won't send dhcp options down.
after I install libvirt-bin and ubuntu-virt-server etc, my resolv.conf auto reset by dnsmasq about every hour
I haven't install network-manager and resolvconf and I search for dnsmasq, only dnsmasq-base have been installed.
when I try to remove dnsmasq-base, libvirt-bin will be removed automatically
how to keep dns config not be changed?
