I thought someone might mention that :-) Not really tickled by the idea, my fritzbox is still quite new so there's still a lot of guarantee to be lost. And even if I did freetz ist, dnsmasq would be in use there too, so I'd still be confronted by much the same problems. (serving names of hosts which have auto-assigned ipv6 addresses etc.) Cheers, Steve _______________________________________________ Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss
