dnsmasq.conf.add - if statement to examine "tag" value

[Frank Herman]

It seems reasonable to think that you should be able to use the "tag" value within an "if" statement.

The "dnsmasq.conf.add" file below does not work, any ideas on what I am doing wrong??


dhcp-host=set:green,20:aa:30:bb:2E:cc,pc1,192.168.1.2,infinite
dhcp-host=set:red,00:aa:E8:bb:96:cc,pc2,192.168.1.3,infinite

IFI = $(tag)
if [ $IFI -eq "green" ]; then

The "dnsmasq.conf" file is not a script, it is a parameter file for dnsmasq.

Also, your question is specific to Merlin's firmware ("dnsmasq.conf.add") so the "General Wireless Discussion" forum is probably the wrong place for it.

I was hoping to fix the issue where my (2) ad blocking assignments are being negated because of the DNS server assignment (dhcp-option) lines below.

Is there another way to bypass the "youtube restrictions" below, for only "pc1", without loosing the ad blocking assignments?


This is my dnsmasq.conf.add file;

# ignore unneccesary windows requests

Sorry, I don't know.

Thanks Colin, I'll try posting this question under the Merlin firmware topic. Cheers!
