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/TFTP/PXE for network booting of diskless machines. + +Dnsmasq 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 +smallish network (up to 1000 clients is known to work) where low resource use +and ease of configuration are important. -- Simon Kelley + +WWW: http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html |
