We've just had the problem where our DNS server went down, and * started to act "funny". Is the best solution to install a local DNS server on the * box, and have no other DNS servers ? - this is an internal app, no need for any external DNS resolution at all.

Hi Julian, maybe /etc/hosts can help you...it is faster to setup.

I've been running it for a few years, and it works very well for me. Besides DNS, it optionally supports DHCP (integrated with DNS) and TFTP. A basic (i.e. normal :) configuration is easy to set up, though there's plenty of depth if you need to do something more unusual. Stable, small, fast, actively maintained. I've only had positive experiences with it. I'd been running bind before that, and it was none of those things. http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html -- Paul
