Well, then we'd have to have a "conf.d" for /etc/hosts... this part of
the problem at least gets shifted around but not made easier.

With djbdns it would be truly easy and modular.  I had hoped dnsmasq
had a mechanism similar to djbdns...

Maybet the answer is to combine both -- use dnsmasq + djbdns. Anyway,
someone will have to take on porting the dhcpd and bind configuration
stuff we have...
