Assuming that your local network is 192.168.1.0 and your local

1) If you run dnsmasq on the clients and the server:
- set a domain in your client and server hostname configs
- run dnsmasq on the clients with "--server=/poc/ip_address_of_server
--rev-server=192.168.1.0/24,ip_address_of_server"
Thanks for replying, but I'm not sure this is what I want:
1) I'm trying not to set any domain, just use local simple
(unqualified) names.
2) My understanding of dnsmasq is that it acts as a DNS server (among
other things) so there should be no need to run it on the client side
as long as the client has a resolver, which they basically all do.
Furthermore, although the man page does talk about lots of command-line
options I expect these can all be handled via the config file, which is
what I'm trying to do.
Thanks again.
