DHCP address reservation extension (dnsmasq)
Hi @negan07,
Now my router is hub for lots of WiFi IOT devices, I've hit the limit of 64 DHCP IP Address static reservations. Do you believe it might be possible to maintain an extended list of DHCP reservations (perhaps extra 65-128)? I noticed the device is using 'dnsmasq' internally, and so perhaps a DHCP feature could be added similar to Ancistrus's UI for 'Wake On LAN' extension, or via an additional config file?
Example I found on dnsmasq config file, might look like this:
# Static IPs
dhcp-host=00:00:5e:00:53:42,thedoctor,192.168.0.10
dhcp-host=00:00:5e:00:53:01,00:00:5e:00:53:02,tardis,192.168.0.22
dhcp-host=00:00:5e:00:53:08,sonicscrewdriver,192.168.0.23
dhcp-host=00:00:5e:00:53:10,satellite5,192.168.0.32
Related, I noticed Ancistrus allows us to maintain the standard /etc/hosts file, but exposing more of the 'dnsmasq' back end might even make Ancistrus capable of providing ad-blocking features similar to PiHole!
