I'm running dnsmasq as a caching dns and as such it seems to do its job and it is easy to configure. The idea was to run it as dhcp+dns but I later found out that the version in the ports-tree[1] is known not to work on 4.0[2].

I noticed no-one has suggested dnsmasq, any reason for that? Just curious.

Don't do that. DJB junk is not in ports for good reasons.

Bind is patched and chrooted in base. It wont take long to set
up a
caching proxy resolver for a LAN. If you get stuck, just ask.

I just set up pdnsd.  Seems to do the job.  Any comments on this piece of 
software.  I would also like to hear about users of dnsmasq.
