DNSMasq for multiple vlans with Ubuntu 18.04
Is it possible to setup one instance of dnsmasq to handle multiple vlans?
I have 3 vlans
10.0.4.0/24 - guest wifi
10.0.10.0/24 - user network
10.0.50.0/24 - private mission critical networkI want to have use DNSMasq to handle dns caching and dhcp service for all 3 networks.
I figured I would place it in the 10.0.10.0/24 network and allow access to it from all 3. UFW allowed traffic on the corresponding ports for DNS and DHCP only and ssh from the 10.0.50.0/24 network.
I'm running this on Ubuntu 18.04 on a vm. I have a lot of machines I need remote access to and remembering ips is becoming a pain. I installed a dedicated network card on the vm host to give this vm untagged access to the 10.0.10.0/24 network.
I have had it working briefly but the vlaning is weird. Seems like the vlan breaks down randomly. I set it up when I installed the os.
Should I use a different card for all 3 networks to the vm and then vlan? Or would it be better to run an instance on all 3 networks and have one primary instance handle all of my settings, then have the other ones mirror the dns? I guess I would have to log in to each to setup dhcp.
What's the best approach to this?

It is possible to do this. You just have to specify the tag for each lan.
