I apologize for not following the bug, but I asked a related question last week
(or the week before).
Why not use dnsmasq to do the DHCP service as well as its DNS services? I have
it running stand-alone for years, very stable and efficient (as do many others
out there -- and it's built into some firmware's for soho hardware-routers)???
Isn't part of building a good firewall/security appliance minimizing the number
of packages for efficiency and security? (i.e. one less package to maintain is
one less possible security and maintenance issue to appear)

Subject: [Efw-user] Local network DNS issue hack...
For those not following bug: http://bugs.endian.it/view.php?id=258
Endian uses dnsmasq for dns resolving and ISC dhcpd for dhcp serving.
The problem is that the version of dnsmasq included in efw does not
include ISC dhcpd server support (a compile option at best, a backport
at worst). As such, there is no way to have local network host name
resolution on efw.
Since dnsmasq support of ISC is generally considered historical
nowadays (now that dnsmasq also has its own internal dhcp server), I
have put together a python script that will watch for changes to the
dhcpd.leases file and create a special hosts file from it. This means
that you can fake it with dnsmasq using the addnhosts option allowing
for full dns resolution. The download is attached to the bug report
and includes a readme file on how I set it up, ymmv.
Cheers,
Jae
