Please do. I'm in the process of updating the OS and hardware for 
thekelleys.org.uk and once I've moved nearly a decade of accumulated 
configuration and tweaking onto a current OS version and made it live, 
I'll be in a position to do stuff like making git access available. I'm 
planning on doing the cut-over during the Christmas holidays, so it's 
not far off.

My gut feeling is to wait and see if it rolls out more generally. 
There's no barrier to using dnsmasq with the proxy except convenience of 
configuration, and if it takes off, integration into dnsmasq would be 
good. If it doesn't, it's not good to have committed to extra code which 
needs supporting for a long time.


Cheers,

Simon.
