[GTALUG] Fwd: OpenWRT / DNSmasq question

[Alex Volkov]

Hi Giles,

This is exactly how it works, you add a record to /etc/hosts file, that 
could be any record. There's only one confusing step -- you need to 
restart dnsmasq every time you edit the file as dnsmasq doesn't detect 
changes automatically.

Alex.
