As an alternative to dnsmasq, master now has isc-dhcp (v4 only) and Bind 
integration, so that's getting close to the essential functionality that 
dnsmasq provides.

I stopped using dnsmasq about 8 years ago because it has several minor 
violations of the RFC's (which the Kelly's claim are convenient and therefore 
justified) but I believe create potential incompatibilities for specious 
reasons (yes, I'm a strict-interpretation-of-the-standards nazi).

If anyone is interested in having v6 support to DHCP+Bind integration, I can 
look at doing that as well.

Thanks,

-Philip
