<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, I'm gonna rip the dhcpd out and let dnsmasq
do the work. I've been running dnsmasq inside my firewall for years and
it's been solid and reliable. I don't see the reason to have two daemons
running on my firewall when one can do the job just fine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for the quick reply. It's much
appreciated -- as is the dnsmasq daemon itself!</FONT></DIV>
