Is it possible to set multiple search domains via dnsmasq/DHCP? Due to some migration, I need multiple clients to be able to:

ping server.old-domain
ping server.new-domain
# both should work, .old-domain being an alias for .new-domain

I have tried the following:

  • dhcp-option=option:domain-search - only works for dhcpcd, which I cannot solely rely on
  • same link also suggests dhcp-option=15,".old-domain .new-domain" (note the space) - seems rather to be a hack
  • regex domain pattern (is this by now possible?) - didn't work for me
  • setting domain=old-domain,new-domain in /etc/dnsmasq lead to syntax error with dnsmasq --test
  • if multiple domain entries, the last read is taken
  • cname seems to be rather for single host names, imo no wildcard possible

There are multiple scripts using the old domain name, hence a domain alias would ease up gradual migration. Have I forgotten an alternative or isn't this possible?

/etc/dnsmasq.conf:

domain-needed
bogus-priv
local=/new-domain/
bind-interfaces
expand-hosts
domain=new-domain
dhcp-range=...
dhcp-option=option:router,...
dhcp-option=option:dns-server,...
dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.leases
dhcp-authoritative
