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.
|
|
|
|
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 small network where low resource
|
|
use and ease of configuration are important.
