Hi Niki, Thanks good article... I was close in what I did - but still not working. I made this config file in /etc/dnsmasq.d more lsi.conf domain-needed bogus-priv interface = eth0 expand-hosts local = / LayeredSolutionsInc.com / domain = LayeredSolutionsInc.com # The address 192.168.1.14 is the static IP of this server # You can find this ip by running ifconfig and look for the # IP of the interface which is connected to the router. listen-address=127.0.0.1 listen-address=192.168.1.14 bind-interfaces # Use open source DNS servers server=8.8.8.8 # Create custom 'domains'. # Custom 'domains' can also be added in /etc/hosts address=/LayeredSolutionsInc.com/192.168.1.14 I restart dnsmasq of course... The resolution works on the same machine - but not for any other linux box. I add the nameserver 192.168.1.14 to the /etc/resolv.conf of that machine - but resolution does not work. Thoughts? (note I moved from my original 192.168.1.8 to 192.168.1.14 machine) - same issue resolves locally but not for other machines. Jerry
