[SOLVED] How to specify dns server for a particular host? dnsmasq

Hello. First of all, sorry for bad english.

I am trying to setup dhcp server dnsmasq for setting a diferent dns server ip to a particular host, but I don't achieve it, because I don't know how to write that option in the file /etc/config/dhcp

config dnsmasq
        option domainneeded '1'
        option localise_queries '1'
        option rebind_protection '1'
        option rebind_localhost '1'
        option local '/lan/'
        option domain 'lan'
        option expandhosts '1'
        option authoritative '1'
        option readethers '1'
        option leasefile '/tmp/dhcp.leases'
        option resolvfile '/tmp/resolv.conf.auto'
        option nonwildcard '1'
        option localservice '1'
        list server '192.168.0.254'

config dhcp 'lan'
        option interface 'lan'
        option start '100'
        option leasetime '12h'
        option limit '10'
        list dhcp-range=set:VIRTUAL,192.168.0.20,192.168.0.20

config dhcp 'wan'
        option interface 'wan'
        option ignore '1'

config host
        option name 'VIRTUAL'
        option dns '1'
        option mac '08:00:27:82:0D:B9'
        option tag 'VIRTUAL'
        option ip '192.168.0.66'


config tag 'VIRTUAL'
        option dns-server '8.8.8.8'

Any idea of what am doing wrong or how to write it? thank you

Assign different DHCP options to multiple hosts.
Your syntax is wrong, you need to use dhcp option.

Can you please provide a snippet for syntax example? thank you.

uci set dhcp.VIRTUAL.dhcp_option="6,8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4"
uci commit dhcp
service dnsmasq restart

root@OpenWrt:~# uci set dhcp.VIRTUAL.dhcp_option="6,1.1.1.1,1.2.3.4"
uci: Invalid argument

I am using dnsmasq-full

This has worked for me:

root@OpenWrt:~# uci set dhcp.@host[0].dhcp_option='6,1.2.3.4,5.6.7.8'
root@OpenWrt:~# uci commit
root@OpenWrt:~# service dnsmasq restart
Warning: the 'option dhcp_option' syntax is deprecated, use 'list dhcp_option'
udhcpc: started, v1.28.4
udhcpc: sending discover
udhcpc: no lease, failing

Is no possible to make this setup in file dhcp ?
Thanks

Sure

config tag 'VIRTUAL'
	option dhcp_option '6,8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4'
