Hi there,

I used to have a router with dsnmasq. There, I had a hosts file like
Code:
192.168.1.10 DE:AD:CA:FE:00:01 * HOSTNAME

With m0n0wall, I first have to setup a static relationship between MAC and IP adress in Services: DHCP server:
Code:
MAC address  IP address  Description 
DE:AD:CA:FE:00:01 192.168.1.10  HOSTNAME 
and then an IP hostname relationship via Services: DNS forwarder:
Code:
Host  Domain  IP  Description 
HOSTNAME local  192.168.1.10  HOSTNAME

This is not only one step more than I had to do with the 'old' router, but also prone to errors.

Is that the way to do it with m0n0wall or did I miss something?

Thanks in advance!
