I am trying run dnsmasq server in my local network for translating
name www.mydomain.dev to IP address 10.254.20.4.



I need this name to correct signing SSL certificates.
I tried ping host from local machine on which I have installed dnsmasq and
from remote machine (my laptop) by command



ping mydomain.dev 


but unfortunately it does not work.
Ping respond:




"Ping request could not find host mydomain.dev. Please check the name and try again."




  • In my laptop I have access to host by IP.

  • In laptop I have set primary DNS as 10.254.20.4 and second DNS as 8.8.8.8

In dnsmasq.config I have such configuration:



listen-address=127.0.0.1 

server=/dev/127.0.0.1

local=/localnet/

address=/www.mydomain.dev/10.254.20.4


What is wrong?
Any ideas?



Thanks in advance for any help,



Michał

  • I think it's due to the config listen-address=127.0.0.1 . It means that it listens to loopback interface only. I think you need to change it to listen to the LAN's IP address of your "local machine". wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/dnsmasq#DNS_cache_setup

server is a synonym for local



so your dnsmasq config would contain



listen-address=127.0.0.1 
local=/dev/
domain=dev


then open /etc/hosts and add



10.254.20.4 www.mydomain.dev


save and restart dnsmasq
