I'm abit confused here about the request. He doesn't want to change system files so he can put everything in a shell script. Why can't one change system files from a shell script??? That said, given his hypothesis that he can't do it, I would say then the solution is simply to specify

I'm not sure about the actual patch, but the idea is a great one. I have two NSLU2's and a router all configured with dnsmasq to act as tftp servers. Normally, have just been relying on the race of which one wins the race when more than one is running at the same time, but that is almost

I find radvd works well for IPv6 address allocation. I just start-up a computer, query it's address, and enter that into my /etc/hosts file on the server running dnsmasq. Assuming you have a static IPv6 address for your network, that should be all that is needed. If you have a dynamic

Really, you only need DNS64/NAT64 if you want to completely eliminate IPv4 in your network. With a dual stack, e.g. using both, it is completely unnecessary. I would say if you do need them, they are completely different functions than what DNSMASQ provide. As such, they should be just

The easiest way is to use the address directive in the dnsmasq.conf file. e.g. address=/dd-wrt.local/dd-wrt/gateway.local/gateway/192.168.1.1 The disadvantages of address directives is that the dnsmasq.conf file is not automatically re-read when you update it. But the address feature is
