Description

Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. It is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP/TFTP/PXE for network booting of diskless machines.

Dnsmasq is targeted at home networks using NAT and connected to the internet via a modem, cable-modem or ADSL connection but would be a good choice for any smallish network (up to 1000 clients is known to work) where low resource use and ease of configuration are important. -- Simon Kelley

Message after installing

To enable dnsmasq, edit /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf and
set dnsmasq_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf[.local]

Further options and actions are documented inside
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/dnsmasq


NOTE: when using dnssec, inaccurate system clocks
can cause DNS resolution to fail
because DNSSEC signatures may then not validate.

It is recommended to enable the wpad-related options
