Yes, I can second that. I recently installed dnsmasq on my router machine (between my ADSL modem and my home network). dnsmasq servers the domain names in my private home lan so I do not need to keep all /etc/hosts files in my lan computers. I just give my router machines LAN nic's ip address as dns server and it is working quite well since then. ->HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
