dnsmasq - dynamically create dns entry without DHCP
Is there a way for dnsmasq to create an DNS record dynamically, without enabling DHCP service? All those files /etc/hosts, /etc/dnsmasq.conf are readed only on dnsmasq's startup and after changing them one should restart dnsmasq too.

Wow
Wait, dynamic loading of a non-dynamic address ... ???
I am not sure I can answer, but I sure have to wonder WHY you might want that. Is that something you could share? |
I needed to write custom dhcp server, and i didn't wanted to write dns server too. So I hoped that I could configure records in existed dns server(dnsmasq) somehow, for example via editing some files.. but looks like there is no such way.
Sorry for delayed answer. |
re-inventine the horse?
DNSMASQ is an excellent caching DNS server and does integrated DHCP as well. I have used it to provide DHCP and as primary DNS for my local home network back when Ubuntu was current at version 8 or 9 (it has been a while).
What features do you need that no existing DNS or DHCP server will provide? |
