Re: [libvirt] Making DHCP leases available to local DNS server through dnsmasq

But the problem is that you have 2 different dnsmasq daemons running at the same time and one doesn't know about the other. The one ran by libvirt will not be accessed anyhow unless you tell it to your system-wide one. So similarly to what I was suggesting, you'd need: server=/actionmystique.net/192.168.213.1 server=/213.168.192.in-addr.arpa/192.168.213.1/ instead of the local= line. But the leases are offered by different dnsmasq than which one the ping is asking. But there is nothing in /etc/hosts and nothing will ever be added there automatically. The only one who knows the hostname <-> IP address mapping is libvirt and its dnsmasq. It all comes down to what is your usage, what are your use cases, basically what are you trying to achieve here. Unless we know that, there is no one clear answer. P.S.: About the .04, that is yet another level of domain that, I think, might get stripped, or just used differently when nsswitch is actually asking for it.
