Has the "tftp" action implemented. At the moment it's sent to the
--dhcp-script script always. I'm still tending towards that solution,
but haven't made the final decision. The bulk of the changes are done
anyway.
Just from the point of view of longer term plans. Recently I actually
read the documentation on Nginx perl (I think I put in the correct link
below?).

The point of looking is simply that at first sight, embedding a
relatively slow scripting language looks troublesome and a performance
issue. However, I was quite surprised at just HOW embedded is perl in
what is perhaps one of the highest performing network server software we
have to study at the moment....
Lua would seem like a better bet for dnsmasq (than perl) due to the very
low installation size. Also performance is alleged to be extremely high
(for a scripting language) and the runtime is designed with
embeddability in mind. Nginx also allows embedded lua, although I
haven't studied to see if they achieve similar levels of integration
I have an application (captive portal) where it would be quite
interesting to "manufacture" answers under some conditions, tweak
answers under others, and also "cheat" on caching timeouts in specific
situations (if the user if offline/dialup for example).
Just trying to put ideas into your head...
All the best
