Is it possible to install dnsmasq into routeros
I need dns cache server like dnsmasq, is there any way to install dnsmasq into routeros
Re: Is it possible to install dnsmasq into routeros
RouterOS is a closed system. You can't "install" any 3rd party tool. You could use MetaRouter, which allows you to run other OS "inside" routeros, like a virtual machine.
Re: Is it possible to install dnsmasq into routeros
qubic you have dns cache service already built in into RouterOS. (IP > DNS, tick Allow remote requests)
Unless you have a very large network that needs to cope with more than 100 requests per second no need for a separate cache.

But dnsmasq can also be a name server for devices in the LAN.qubic you have dns cache service already built in into RouterOS. (IP > DNS, tick Allow remote requests)

that is also available at ip > dns > staticBut dnsmasq can also be a name server for devices in the LAN.
Re: Is it possible to install dnsmasq into routeros
Thanks. I clicked on that, and then tried to ping devices who's names are known to the router. But now my devices think that all host names have the IP address 92.242.140.2 instead of something in the 192.168.1.0 range.that is also available at ip > dns > staticBut dnsmasq can also be a name server for devices in the LAN.

Re: Is it possible to install dnsmasq into routeros
Hello:
92.242.140.2 belongs to some "Barefruit Ltd". There are threads on this address on the internet.
May this be some kind of misconfiguration on your client?
Your dns settings should point to your mikrotik.
Depending on your OS, try a command like "nslookup" or "dig".
They should report which dns is answering your request.
If it is not your mikrotik, check the dns settings on your client.
Hope this helps

Yes and no...Your dns settings should point to your mikrotik.
Depending on your OS, try a command like "nslookup" or "dig".Are you saying that I should I add 192.168.1.1 (the router's LAN IP address) in "servers:"? (I think you are, but want to be sure before cocking something up...)Code: Select all[admin@MikroTik] /ip dns> print servers: <<<<<<<<<<<<<< dynamic-servers: 68.105.28.11,68.105.29.11,68.105.28.12 allow-remote-requests: yes max-udp-packet-size: 4096 query-server-timeout: 2s query-total-timeout: 10s cache-size: 2048KiB cache-max-ttl: 1w cache-used: 300KiB
My router has this configuration:
Code: Select all
/ip dns print
servers: 208.67.220.220,208.67.222.222
dynamic-servers:
allow-remote-requests: yes
max-udp-packet-size: 4096
query-server-timeout: 2s
query-total-timeout: 10s
cache-size: 2048KiB
cache-max-ttl: 1w
cache-used: 120KiB
But on the client I have:
Code: Select all
cat /etc/resolv.conf
#
# This file is automatically generated.
#
nameserver 192.168.88.1In this way, when I ping names statically assigned by my router's dhcp server, they are resolved by the router, and only if unknown to it they will be passed to the outside dns servers.
On your client pc/server (that is, not from the router)
Code: Select all
nslookup router
Server: 192.168.88.1
Address: 192.168.88.1#53 <<<---- this is the dns resolving the name, the mikrotik router
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: router

Code: Select all
nslookup router
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address: 8.8.8.8#53
** server can't find router: NXDOMAIN
Check if the "resolv.conf" in your client pc is set to your mikrotik router.
Re: Is it possible to install dnsmasq into routeros
It does, along with my ISP's name servers (presumably because the router DNS has "allow-remote-requests: yes".Check if the "resolv.conf" in your client pc is set to your mikrotik router.
Code: Select all
$ nslookup router
Server: 192.168.1.1
Address: 192.168.1.1#53

Last try before I go out of ideasIt does, along with my ISP's name servers (presumably because the router DNS has "allow-remote-requests: yes".Check if the "resolv.conf" in your client pc is set to your mikrotik router.Code: Select all$ nslookup router Server: 192.168.1.1 Address: 192.168.1.1#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: router Address: 192.168.1.1 $ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 192.168.1.1 nameserver 68.105.28.11 nameserver 68.105.29.11
May you try
Code: Select all
nslookup MC0XMUDC
Code: Select all
dig MC0XMUDC
dig MC0XMUDC @192.168.1.1
dig MC0XMUDC @68.105.28.11
Re: Is it possible to install dnsmasq into routeros
It appears to work, since I statically added those devices to the router DNS tables:
Code: Select all
[admin@MikroTik] /ip dns static> print
Flags: D - dynamic, X - disabled
# NAME REGEXP ADDRESS TTL
0 router 192.168.1.1 1d
1 haggis 192.168.1.10 1d
