Hi, 

I would like to make Sambaadmins aware of the simple and powerfull program
dnsmasq. 

It makes setting up a caching dnsserver + dhcp-server that maps local machines
to the local domain a breeze, something that is missing in the samba howto
collection (http://www.bibsyst.no/samba/docs/man/DNSDHCP.html#id2981727). 

I've been running it for two months now, so I felt it was time to recomend it to
others.

Disclaimer:
I am not affiliated with the project in any way, but a simple solution for
combining dns and dhcp has bugged me for so long that I thought others might
like this tip.
