I've just got a new Raspberry Pi and I've been playing. Current project is trying to set up a local DNS server/cache using DNSMasq (mostly following this guide).I seem to have gotten it working properly. When I set the DNS server of my local machine to the IP of the Raspberry Pi (192.168.0.40 in my case) everything seems to work fine. Random domains I know I have never used before resolve properly. In testing this I've deleted the external DNS server from my router so I know it's coming from the Pi.Ideally I'd like the router to use the Pi as its DNS server so everything on the network automatically uses it without me configuring every device manually. However, when I try setting the DNS server on the router to the local IP of the Pi I get DNS errors and sites don't load.The router is a D-Link DIR-868L. I made a bit of a strategic error when I bought it - I checked the DDWRT router database and saw it was supported so bought it (I did get a good deal). But I didn't read all the forum threads. DDWRT works well on the D-Link as a router (including DNSMasq goodness), but the wireless performance goes right down the tubes so I've flicked back to stock D-Link firmware.Any ideas?
