Yes, I can second that. I recently installed dnsmasq on my router
machine (between my ADSL modem and my home network). dnsmasq servers the
domain names in my private home lan so I do not need to keep all
/etc/hosts files in my lan computers. I just give my router machines LAN
nic's ip address as dns server and it is working quite well since then.
