my wl500gx can't resolve locals names...

[vox de HG]

My wl-500gx with asus official firmware 1.9.5.0 can't resolve the local names of my computers connected to my lan.

All my computers (gentoo linux) are dhcp clients. I set up my wl500gx as a dhcp server with domain called domicile.net. my wl500gx is connect to internet through a speed touch pro modem with static IP method.

etc/resolv.conf file of my computers are :
# Generated by dhcpcd for interface eth1
domain domicile.net
nameserver 192.168.1.1

this seems ok

All my computers can resolve internet's name but not of my local computers:
#nslookup www.yahoo.fr
Server: 192.168.1.1
Address: 192.168.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
www.yahoo.fr canonical name = www.euro.yahoo.akadns.net.
Name: www.euro.yahoo.akadns.net
Address: 217.12.3.11

# nslookup ciboulette (ciboulette is the name of one of my computers)
Server: 192.168.1.1
Address: 192.168.1.1#53

** server can't find ciboulette: NXDOMAIN

# nslookup ciboulette.domicile.net
Server: 192.168.1.1
Address: 192.168.1.1#53

** server can't find ciboulette.domicile.net: NXDOMAIN



When i look for dhcp lease in status page that what i see:

Host Name Mac Address IP Address Lease
romarin 00:C0:9F:45:76:45 192.168.1.3 54666 secs
ciboulette 00:D0:B7:0A:58:1D 192.168.1.2 54725 secs
XBOX 00:0D:3A:68:9F:DE 192.168.1.4 55011 secs

so may be I made a mistake in my set-up but I don't understand why my wl500gx can't resolve the names of my locals computers

Don't know if with your settings local resolution should work or not on your router. But, as you have few machines, a workaround could be to have "IP config -> DHCP server -> Enable Manual Assignment" set and choose the ip that dhcp will give based on mac-adress. Next steep is to put the appropriate lines in /etc/hosts of each machines.

Peut-être que ça marcherait, mais je n'ai pas testé :)

As far as I know, the wl500gx with official firmware, does not have a "real" dns server built in. It is just forwarding dns requests from the local net to the internet dns server defined in the wl500g configuration.
DHCP is not DNS , though in some cases they do talk together (dynamic dns).

I thought that as Wl500gx attributes himself IP adresses, it was obviously a DNS server...

Ok then, can I get some hope with Oleg firmware ? (I searched for it but I don't get any confirmation about this...)
