Thanks a lot for your help Lupe. Because in our case the DNS part of
dnsmasq is unused, I hoped to save some memory by disabling it?
I doubt you'd save enough memory to be worth it, especially if you are
still using the DHCP part. An idle DNS server would use very little RAM.
Hundreds of kilobytes, I expect.
You will not save that much memory. IIRC dnsmasq does not do caching
or other memory consuming things.
And for it to be idle you don't need to assign a different port.
Redirecting the DHCP clients (and any machine using a static
configuration) to some other name server makes dnsmasq idle.
You might try to use a different DHCP server on OpenWRT, but I doubt
any will beat dnsmasq for memory efficiency. It's worth a try, though.
