DNSMasq forwarding on specific domains

Question

I've a problem of routing DNS traffic on specific domains.

Example:

• *.swaroop.com should forward to ns.swaroop.com
• swaroop.org should forward to ns.swaroop.org

Can we achieve the above scenario with DNSMasq? Please let me know if anyone has done this.

Answer 1

The following configuration in /etc/dnsmasq.conf should be useful:

server=/swaroop.com/ns.swaroop.com
server=/swaroop.org/ns.swaroop.org

For those of you that found this like me, yes, this applies to wildcards by default. Read about it at thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html - look for --local, --server. It's about 1/5 of the way down. – Towe
