Dan is "dnsmasq" misschien ook wel iets. Ik heb het overigens nooit
gebruikt maar de beschrijving in de manpage (en in de slackware
package description) komt een heel eind in de goede richting.



DNSMASQ(8)                                             DNSMASQ(8)

NAME
       dnsmasq - A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server.

SYNOPSIS
       dnsmasq [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION
       dnsmasq  is  a  lightweight  DNS  and  DHCP  server. It is
       intended to provide coupled DNS and DHCP service to a LAN.

       Dnsmasq accepts DNS queries and either answers them from a
       small, local, cache or forwards them to a real, recursive,
       DNS  server.  It  loads the contents of /etc/hosts so that
       local hostnames which do not appear in the global DNS  can
       be  resolved and also answers DNS queries for DHCP config-
       ured hosts.

       The dnsmasq DHCP server supports  static  address  assign-
       ments,  multiple  networks,  DHCP-relay and RFC3011 subnet
       specifiers. It automatically sends a sensible default  set
       of DHCP options, and can be configured to send any desired
       set of DHCP options. It also supports BOOTP.




Groeten,
