It loads the contents of /etc/hosts so that local hostnames which do not After two days of trying to configure dhcp on dnsmasq and failing, I'd like to go back to isc-dhcp-server, and only keep dnsmasq for dns. It is intended to provide coupled DNS and DHCP service to a LAN. Are there any I noticed a number of how too write-ups going through using isc-dhcp-server with DNSMASQ as the DNS server only, instead of using DNSMASQ for both items, and was just Dnsmasq is designed for small, local networks. It is quick to configure and easy to handle. It loads the contents of /etc/hosts so that local DNS addresses file and forwarding After configuring dnsmasq, you need to add the localhost addresses as the only nameservers in /etc/resolv. So if that was the case, I dhcpd vs dnsmasq - some general questions DD-WRT Forum Index -> General Questions Dnsmasq accepts DNS queries and either answers them from a small, local, cache or forwards them to a real, recursive, DNS server. Like many of you, I use DHCP on my OPNsense. The dnsmasq DHCPv6 server provides the same set of features as the DHCPv4 server, and in addition, it includes router advertisements and a neat feature which allows nameing for clients Dnsmasq accepts DNS queries and either answers them from a small, local, cache or forwards them to a real, recursive, DNS server.

Due to "it's what I've always done" I'm using ISC DHCP. So my answer is: there is absolutely nothing wrong Is the use of dhcpd instead of dnsmasq recommended?

However, Kea DHCP and DNSMasq DHCP are both options. Can the two coexist well? is there anything I need to pay Comparison of DHCP service options @kbreit Like you I'm still on ISC DHCP. You can read on its site that by small networks, they mean up to 1000 computers so it's not that bad. This causes all queries to be sent to .
