local cname queries goes to upstream server

Expected Behaviour:

CNAME that could be looked up in the LAN.

Actual Behaviour:

When i dig the CNAME on the pihole-box it looks ok but I can't use nslookup on a Windows client to get it.

Debug Token:

c11347eh81!

Observe that I have changed my dns names and IP's in the text below for privacy, so it's a bit different in the debug file.

May 17 21:02:52 dnsmasq[7336]: query[A] ipam from 127.0.0.1
May 17 21:02:52 dnsmasq[7336]: config ipam is <CNAME>
May 17 21:03:26 dnsmasq[7336]: query[A] ipam from 127.0.0.1
May 17 21:03:26 dnsmasq[7336]: config ipam is <CNAME>
May 17 21:03:47 dnsmasq[7336]: query[A] ipam.lan from 192.168.1.xxx
May 17 21:03:47 dnsmasq[7336]: forwarded ipam.lan to 1.0.0.1
May 17 21:03:47 dnsmasq[7336]: reply ipam.lan is NXDOMAIN

I created a 05-cname.conf under /etc/dnsmasq.d with the following,

cname=ipam,homeserver

to make ipam a CNAME of homeserver and with dig and nslookup local on the pihole box it did found it and reported as a CNAME but when I tried on a Windows client i Didnt get it.

nslookup ipam
Server:  piHole.lan
Address:  192.168.1.xxx

*** piHole.lan can't find ipam: Non-existent domain

What I can see in the log above is that when I requested the query from my client it forwared it to my upstream DNS.

I also have a 99-my-conf.conf under /etc/dnsmasq.d with the following configuration,

domain=lan
expand-hosts
local=/lan/

Should not that local=/lan/ do so .lan doesn't goes to upstream servers?

I have also checked the "Never forward non-FQDNs" in the web gui,

Thanks.

Try using a FQDN:

pi@noads:~ $ echo 'cname=ipam.dehakkelaar.nl,pi.hole' | sudo tee /etc/dnsmasq.d/99-my-settings.conf
cname=ipam.dehakkelaar.nl,pi.hole

pi@noads:~ $ sudo service pihole-FTL reload
pi@noads:~ $

pi@noads:~ $ nslookup ipam
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53
