and enable odhcpd for example? i can live with that if i can figure out how
to build dnsmasq without the dhcp server part which shouldn't be
impossible (don't have much space to spare, 1M max).

but to be clear, looking at my settings, especially the 'lan' section in
/etc/config/network, you think that has nothing in it that would trigger
the dns server (dnsmasq in my case) to send out IPv4?

i thought HE's own dns server would do that. i will have a look at the one
you suggest.
