Providing DHCP and DNS services with DNSMasq http://sfxpt.wordpress.com/2011/02/06/providing-dhcp-and-dns-services- with-dnsmasq/ Synopsis To use DNSmasq to provide DNS, DHCP, tftpd and ad blocking to my home network. Introduction The dnsmasq can be used as both dhchp and dns server. This is ideal for a home network. The benefits are, * I no longer need to fiddle with my router web interface to give fixed dhcp leases to my boxes — I just have to maintain a local dnsmasq conf file on the dnsmasq server. * It also provides tftpd service and ad blocking out of the box.
