dnsmasq serves several purposes. Small LANs, bigger LANs, etc. In my particular situation, which I think is quite common for a small business LAN, there's a collection of systems that acquire a fixed IP address using DHCP. For this collection, the DNS and DHCP information overlap. A line dhcp-host=00:01:02:03:04:05,192.168.1.222,foobar,6h could then imply the associated dns-host=192.168.1.222,foobar > The question is, is it worth the (small) overhead? I have no problem with the current approach. I would be nice if it could be done easier but I do not think it is really worth the effort to change the current behaviour. Moreover, I'm currently limited to a prebuilt version of dnsmasq that is way behind so I won't be able to use the new features anyway soon :( . Thanks for the nice program, -- Johan
