-Dnsmasq is a caching DNS forwarder designed to provide DNS service on a 
-small network. It is targeted at home networks using NAT and connected to 
-the internet via a modem, cable-modem or ADSL connection but would be a 
-good choice for any small network where low resource use and ease of 
-configuration are important.
+Dnsmasq is lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. It is designed to provide DNS 
+and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in 
+the global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated 
+addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or in a central configuration 
+file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP for network booting of diskless 
+machines.
