[Dnsmasq-discuss] Partial IP addresses in ptr-record fields

[Juho Pohjala]

Hi

Is it possible to configure partial IP addresses in ptr-record fields so
that it would work similarly as in server field?

In my configuration file I have
server=/3.168.192.in-addr.arpa/10.1.2.3
ptr-record=4.168.192.in-addr.arpa,5.5.5.5

Now, nslookup 192.168.3.100 gets forwarded to 10.1.2.3, this is expected.
But nslookup 192.168.4.100 will not return 5.5.5.5 as I would expect. Is my
configuration flawed or does dnsmasq support partial IPs in ptr-record
field at all?

Thanks
Juho Pohjala

Why would you like ptr record to look like an IP address in the first
place? I think this is more spoofing that anything else. You can always
make sure name 5.5.5.5.in-addr.arpa does not exist and will always
display as IP address. NAT can be used to change IP address transparently.
