[Dnsmasq-discuss] Switching from ISC dhcpd and IPv6 DNS

2011-04-21 Thread Freddie Witherden
Hello, For several years now I have been using dnsmasq + /etc/hosts to provide DNS for my home network. DHCP has been provided by the ISC dhcpd server on the same system. Given the flux of systems on the network only the GNU/Linux boxes have entries in /etc/hosts with dhcpd doing a reasonable j

[Dnsmasq-discuss] Detecting DHCP Requests from bridged interfaces

2011-08-24 Thread Freddie Witherden
