This port is based on dns/dnsmasq 2.62_1,1 and has been updated to 2.63rc2. Description (by Simon Kelley, the upstream maintainer): Dnsmasq is a 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/TFTP/PXE for network booting of diskless machines.

Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. It

is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. It can

server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated

|
|
|
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
