I am currently working with a raspberry that works as a server through flask.
It is connected through WiFi to external devices and all I need to do is to redirect the requests to the following local ip that is:
192.168.42.1:5000/wifi/schemes
I tried using dnsmasq and I found out that adding the following line to the dnsmasq.conf file it should do the trick:
address=/#/191.168.42.1
Anyway it doesn't work and I think it is because the server runs on port 5000, but if I type:
address=/#/191.168.42.1:5000/wifi/schemes
but it gives me error as the address seems to be invalid.
Do you have any suggestions?

You seem to be mixing IP addresses and URLs. An IP address is an identifier for a device, while an URL is an identifier for a resource (like a file or directory) on that machine. You can't put an URL where an IP address is expected (because the program won't understand it). – Nathan.Eilisha Shiraini – 2017-07-07T08:47:42.417
It's not clear what you're trying to redirect; DNS requests or something else. It sounds like iptables would be the proper tool for the job you're trying to achieve. – Darren – 2017-07-07T08:57:25.690
