dnsmasq.config.add without ip?

[vandriver]

Hi,

I have a question? I suppose I could just try it but I was wondering if I remove all the ip addresses from my dnsmasq.config.add file will the hostnames still resolve?

For example: dhcp-host=macadress,hostname,ip
becomes
dhcp-host=macadress,hostname

Reason I am asking is on the rare occasions when I have to nuke the router, all the devices connect back up as soon as the router has some basic config and I often find many devices are given a new ip before I can even get the chance to setup yazdhcp and entware etc

I would rather have my full network was using hostnames without having to reconfigure changed ip's if that makes sense?

Yes, that works. This is how I give my guest network clients hostnames.
