I wouldn't want to distribute dnsmasq with concordance. Using this still requires the user to setup something additional. If we wanted to go that route, I would probably say we provide example configs for dnsmasq, bind, etc. Unless I'm missing something... but it seems like just a lightweight daemon you'd install and configure. But we could provide a config file for dnsmasq just as easily as we could provide a config stanza/file for ISC DHCP. (For the record, Scott, I won't to hold up the rest of your patch on sorting out the DHCP stuff. I'll do another round of review on that patch, and test it, and hopefully we can get that merged soon. I'm not ruling our your DHCP solution, I just haven't decided I want to go that route...) -- Phil Dibowitz p...@ipom.com Open Source software and tech docs Insanity Palace of Metallica http://www.phildev.net/ http://www.ipom.com/ "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss
