I concurr with the recommendation to use dnsmasq. I did not find it particularly difficult to configure. (I'm using it for DNS only, with dhcpd version 3 running separately for address assignment.) A feature of dnsmasq worth noting is that it can set MX records for all hosts, which makes mail routing within your private network work easily. -- Henry House +1 530 753 3361 ext. 13 Please don't send me HTML mail!
