Free DNS forwarder and DHCP server Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. Dnsmasq is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. Dnsmasq can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP/TFTP for network booting of diskless machines.Dnsmasq is targeted at home networks using NAT and connected to the internet via a modem, cable-modem or ADSL connection but would be a good choice for any smallish network (up to 1000 clients is known to work) where low resource use and ease of configura What's New in This Release: · Updated French translation. Thanks to Gildas Le Nadan. · Fixed interface enumeration code to work on NetBSD · 5.0. Thanks to Roy Marples for the patch. · Updated config.h to use the same location for the lease · file on NetBSD as the other *BSD variants. Also allow · LEASEFILE and CONFFILE symbols to be overriden in CFLAGS. · Handle duplicate address detection on IPv6 more · intelligently. In IPv6, an interface can have an address · which is not usable, because it is still undergoing DAD · (such addresses are marked "tentative"). Attempting to · bind to an address in this state returns an error, · EADDRNOTAVAIL. Previously, on getting such an error, · dnsmasq would silently abandon the address, and never · listen on it. Now, it retries once per second for 20 · seconds before generating a fatal error. 20 seconds should · be long enough for any DAD process to complete, but can be · adjusted in src/config.h if necessary. Thanks to Martin · Drafft for the bug report. · Add DBus introspection. Patch from Jeremy Laine. · Update Dbus configuration file. Patch from Colin Walters.
