24 dnsmasq can share the /etc/hosts file. Kind of ppor mans auth dns
25 server.
26
27 You have also dnrd. (its badly documented (my fault) but it can do
28 limitd auth DNS hosint.g NS records, A records)
29
30 I don't recomment any of those if you need to be auth dns for more than
31 your own small network.
