I currently have 3 R Pis running Dnsmasq at 3 sites providing local name resolution. Each site is connected to the other two with LAN-to-LAN VPNs. Each site also has dial-in VPN access. I would like to add remote site name resolution but have been so far unsuccessful in configuring this.
Current config at each site:
domain-needed
bogus-priv
no-resolv
server="local isp dns"
cache-size=1000
Each DNS has a hosts file with all local and remote hosts.
Currently "PING 'remote host'" results in "Ping request could not find host 'remote host', Please..."
"PING 'remote IP'" works, ok.
However, "dig 'remote host' A +noall +answer" elicits its IP address.
My aim is to have the Windows Explorer network neighbourhood display all hosts.
AFAIK, WINS is deprecated and MS never provided for WINS in ad hoc networks. I could achieve this by adding Samba to the DNS server but adding WINS info to the DHCP server (the router) is not an option nor does it appear to be supported by Dnsmasq. – Sabreur – 2020-01-13T13:14:29.367
