dnsmasq and 2012 r2 ad dns

Just to share with others in the same situation.

I wanted to use my ac66u as dns server for my home setup.
However, the 2012 r2 essentials active directory domain does not agree with that.

First you have to make this key in the registry of the server:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Server\Networking\ClientDns"
Then add the value: "SkipAutoDnsConfig" and set to 1
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Server\Networking\ClientDns]
"SkipAutoDnsConfig"=dword:00000001

Then (re)install the connector on clients.

On the ac66u:
- Enable/format JFFS if you haven't already
- Create /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add
- Add these lines:
Code:
server=/domain.local/192.168.1.2
server=/domain.local/2001:1234:1234::2
- Create /jffs/configs/hosts.add
- Add these lines:
Code:
192.168.1.2 domain.local
192.168.1.2 dc.domain.local
2001:1234:1234::2 domain.local
2001:1234:1234::2 dc.domain.local
- Reboot ac66u

All should be working fine :D
