I have two sub-nets connected together using two DD-WRT APs - The remote AP is in Client-Routed mode so it has a separate subnet its IP are 192.168.2.1/24 and 192.168.0.5/24. The local AP is in AP mode The DD-WRT DHCP settings are in forward mode for the remote AP
I have DNSMASQ setup within the first subnet on IP 192.168.0.2/24 it is also the DHCP server for the second subnet - this works and my remote clients get the correct router. The DNSMasq machine can ping the PC on the second subnet and the reverse is also true I can also RDP from a PC on the first subnet to the PC on the second subnet - so it appears to me most of the first to second subnet comms is working
My problem is DNSMasq does not send DNS replies to the second subnet - it does work to the first subnet. Can anyone suggest why?
One thing to note is that the route for the second network was on the gateway device (192.168.0.1 ) but I found this dropped many packets - so each of the first sub-net devices has a local static route for the second subnet added to it.
route add 192.168.2.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.5
I've yet to test the DHCP assigned route at this point due to my current problem
This is a sketch of what I have
DNSMASQ Config
# Configuration file for dnsmasq.
domain-needed
bogus-priv
addn-hosts=/etc/dnsmasq.hosts
# so don't use it if you use eg Kerberos, SIP, XMMP or Google-talk. This option only affects forwarding, SRV records originating for dnsmasq (via srv-host= lines) are not
# suppressed by it.

Answer
Ok so after reading the manual better I need to add in something to override the default of only answer local sub-nets (--local-service) a default option which has no negation so for example I tried
listen-address=192.168.0.2
However as resolve.conf has the line
nameserver 127.0.0.1
my change stopped DNSMASQ answering queries from itself - so strangely enough the DNS server no longer could resolve any dns name whilst all other machines were successfully using it as a dns server. I fixed this by adding the following line instead
listen-address=192.168.0.2,127.0.0.1
as I could not work out a simple way to fix what resolveconf was doing
