DNSMasq setup?

Post by ylsf »

Hi, I am looking to set up my router so that certain websites entered into my browser will be directed to a different DNS like this:

http://tunlr.net/forums/topic/use-dnsma ... tunlr-dns/

Seems like for DD-WRT and Tomato there is a "DNSMasq" entry but I can't seem to find that in Gargoyle. Is there a way to set it up?

I found this link for OpenWRT - http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/dhcp.dnsmasq

Would that process work for Gargoyle or is there an easier way to do it?
I am usually pretty good with computers but sometimes I find that these tutorials skip a few steps that someone familiar with ssh or linux , etc would understand but it goes over my head.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Can anyone confirm if the OpenWRT method I linked to above should work without modification for Gargoyle? Or, whether or not it is likely to work. It will take me a while to learn/familiarize myself with manually doing it so if I can save myself some headaches it would be appreciated :)

I'm also interested in the answer to this question. I've installed/configured a vanilla dnsmasq before, but don't want to step on anything that may already be present in Gargoyle to enable dnsmasq.

Gargoyle uses dnsmasq just like OpenWrt. You can use the uci utility to manage the dhcp uci variables or edit /etc/config/dhcp. That should let you modify the parameters that aren't exposed in the GUI.
