Configuration


dnsmasq comes configured for DNS even though it says starting the DNS and DHCP servers when it initializes. DHCP is disabled by default. To configure dnsmasq use a combonation of three files:

  • /etc/dnsmasq.conf - to configure attributes for dnsmasq itself
  • /etc/hosts - to configure different hosts on the system
  • /etc/resolv.conf - to indicate the nameservers on the network and public name servers
