title: Resolve hostnames with arch linux on a RaspberryPi
body: <p>I have a Pi that runs hostapd and dhcpd on arch linux to create it's own land with the Pi's (routers) IP being <code>10.0.0.1</code>. This uses the wlan0 interface and it only serves as a standalone router running a web server.</p>
  
  <p>Once I connect to the Pi, I use <code>10.0.0.1</code> to display the web pages, but I want to use a hostname such as <code>firepi</code>. I have tried using dnsmasq, but I haven't been successful. Any help would be greatly appreciated especially if you can give me some detailed examples as I am a novice.</p>
  
  <p>The purpose of this system is that I have created a web app that you can use to ignite fireworks over WiFi at a safe distance. I would just like the convenience of using a hostname instead of the IP address.</p>
  
  <p>I must add that I will more than likely be using an iPhone to connect to the server, should this affect anything.</p>
