[Dnsmasq-discuss] reducing SPOFs

[Andrew Elwell]

Hi Gang,

At the moment I have an /etc/hosts with all the internal machines on
my home LAN, served by dnsmasq (which does the Right Thing - Thanks
for a decent program) as DHCP / DNS server, however I'd like to have a
second DNS server (hey, if DHCP goes down all bets are off) as a
backup. I have a wrt-54g running dd-wrt as an access point downstairs
- would this be the best way?

if so, is the simplest way to sync /etc/hosts from my master onto it
and run in DNS only mode?

(plan B of using opendns/google DNS servers means I can't resolve
internal hosts)


or is there a Better Way (tm)?

Andrew
