little idea
by Peter Willis - Sep 12th 2004 12:31:39
I was just thinking, it would be awesome if the ability to serve DNS
addresses for local machines could be extended to do dynamic dns... that
way a machine using dhcp's hostname/domain name could still be resolved
from whatever other machine. Or is this already supported?

although i inferred from dnsmasq's docs that you can update the dns to
contain a record for a dhcp host based on the dhcp host's advertised name,
i went ahead and threw together a perl script to act as a dynamic dns
server. the benefit is in instances where you have a dial-up client that
wants to keep a hostname in dnsmasq up-to-date with its current public IP.
you can try it out at http://psydev.sourceforge.net/new/dynamic-dnsmasq/

It was good, it is excellent!

The author just added a new feature to the already excellent dnsmasq: now
you can specify which nameservers are to be used for a particular
domain!
This solved a problem when using the VPN of my company with my home
connection.
Great piece of software: simple and efficient!

i've been using DNRD for my small home LAN (which is still a good product).
Problem was I wanted to use true dynamic DHCP derived IP's instead of
static (or reserved per mac) address and HOSTS entries.
The newest BIND / DHCP do dynamic updates but seemingly don't like servers
that are up and down a lot - the db kept getting jazzed.
DNSMASQ does dynamic updates by simply pointing it at the dhcp.leases
file. Very simple and elegant!
Be sure to read the actual script - it contains comments about additional
features not mentioned inthe breif readme file.

Excellent !

I recently switched from bind to dnsmasq, having a small home network, and
I'm really very happy with it. Less than 1 MB in RAM, *very* quick, Debian
package available for download, etc...
Keep doing it right :)

If any openbsd users want to get in touch with me, it shouldn't be
difficult to make it work.

Version 1.6 is reported as working with OpenBSD 2.8 out of the box. See
the FAQ and config.h for instructions on correct compilation.
