Newbie I need to redirect "denon.vtuner.com" to "vtuner.b0.dk"

Installing and Using OpenWrt

Hi
I'm a complete newbie so help is needed :grinning:
my Denon music centre internet radio no longer works, apparently I can redirect the address "denon.vtuner.com" to a new server that emulates it at "vtuner.b0.dk".
for info if you go to "b0.dk" there is a page that explains this, and it is a well known issue with Denon, Yamaha, Onkyo, Grundig and possibly others

I am using Putty on a windows machine and have tried to modify /ect/dnsmasq.conf but the Denon still goes to "denon.vtuner.com" and does not work.
so a bit of hand holding help please
copy of cat /etc/dnsmasq.conf:

address=/denon.vtuner.com/vtuner.bo.dk
address=/denon2.vtuner.com/vtuner.bo.dk

bo, or b0 (char vs digit) ?

text says one thing, conf something else.

hi thanks for that I have changed them to "0" digit, (must cut n paste in future) but the denon still bypass's "vtuner.bo.dk" and goes to "denon.vtuner.com"

4

restarted dnsmasq ?

if you ping denon. & denon2.vtuner.com and vtuner.b0.dk from a client, what IPs are you getting ?

not sure address= can be used for remapping FQDNs.

I think you could synthesize a CNAME instead of using --address. Not tested.

hi al
spent a little more time with it today and voila it works. many thanks to all who replied / helped. The trick was use cname
