Title: DNSMasq - how to steer hosts to a particular address pool
Post by: endurium on May 20, 2026, 12:41:57 PM
Hi all,

I have three dhcp pools in DNSMasq, pool A and pool A both serve static addresses with different ranges, pool C serves dynamic addresses and uses ADGuard for DNS filtering and so is tagged as "dnsfilter". How do I configure dnsmasq so that hosts that don't get static addresses are directed to pool C for their non-static ip address and use Adguard for DNS?

Is it possible to create a host entry without an IP address and specify just the MAC address and the "dnsfilter" tag? If the above is possible then that seems to be the way to do whaat I'm after.  Also, is there a built-in tag called "known" that's invisibly applied to hosts defined in the Hosts tab?
