I am also using 'dnsmasq'.
Actually that is a very smart program, it not only reads in /etc/hosts so I _could_ omit 'files" from my nsswitch.conf entry, but it also handles DHCP as well and makes sure that when a DHCP IP address is handed out there is a corresponding DNS entry for it :-) Nice, eh?
Yes, super-smart. I've run into dnsmasq setting up PXEboot and it is orders of magnitude more user friendly than bind. But after running bind for nearly two decades and utilizing the ddns updates from dhcpd (which became all the more important with the proliferation of everything under the sun my kids drag in wanting an IP address), I've just stuck with it. -- David C.
