Description: A caching DNS forwarder.
13
Dnsmasq is lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder designed
14
to provide DNS (domain name) services to a small network where
15
using BIND would be overkill. It can be have its upstream DNS
16
servers automatically configured by PPP or DHCP and it can serve
17
the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. It
18
can integrate with the ISC DHCP daemon to serve the names of
19
local machines which are configured using DHCP. Dnsmasq is
20
ideal for networks behind NAT routers and connected via modem,
21
ISDN, ADSL, or cable-modem.

Description: A small caching DNS proxy and DHCP server.
13
Dnsmasq is lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP
14
server. It is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a
15
small network. It can serve the names of local machines which are
16
not in the global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS
17
server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated addresses
18
to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or
19
in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic
20
DHCP leases and BOOTP for network booting of diskless machines.
