which is exactly what I want to do at my home. Why you ask? Well, I have
5 computers (one for each room), 2 file servers, 2 media players and 2
laptops. Not real impressive, but DNSMasq setup correctly, blocks banner
ads and bad sites (yeah I get the lists from a couple of places - it's
all automatic to me). so the bad sites get sent to my own web server
which basically says Oops, you didn't intend to be here. Which is ok.
I know what it means and why I ended up there. I'm the only one who
counts. What I don't want is the boring site not found (NXDomain). I
thought I knew where that page was generated from within windows, but I
cannot remember and Google just isn't helping. So I thought, how about
DNSMasq? But the above link explains why not. I'm running DNSMasq on a
DNS-323 file server. I believe I've found other programs that might do
something close to what I want, but I don't know those programs and
would rather stay with the tried and true. I thought if enough people
requested this feature, you might reconsider...
It's really not a good idea: this is probably the definitive paper on
why not:

Did I tell you, I love this little gem? dhcp is fantastic. I have 10
devices that can be configured simply with DNSMasq. How cool is that?
Glad you like it!
Cheers,
Simon.
