Dnsmasq 2.46 (Default branch)

Dnsmasq is a 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/TFTP for network booting of diskless machines. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This release adds two frequently-requested features: ability to handle more than one DNS domain, and static DHCP address assignment to more than one MAC address (for laptops with both wired and wireless networking). There are also enhancements to the DBus interface and a (limited) facility to return CNAME DNS records. Image
