Summary

Dnsmasq is lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server.

It is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network.

It 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 for network booting of diskless

machines.
