The dnsmasq Portfile 59401 2009-10-14 18:16:22Z snc macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: dnsmasq
Version: 2.51
Category: net
license GPL
Maintainers: snc openmaintainer
Description: lightweight DNS forwarder and DHCP server
Long Description: Dnsmasq is lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server. It is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either in each host or in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP for network booting of diskless machines.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/dnsmasq
%  sudo port install dnsmasq  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching dnsmasq
--->  Verifying checksum for dnsmasq
--->  Extracting dnsmasq
--->  Configuring dnsmasq
--->  Building dnsmasq with target all

--->  Staging dnsmasq into destroot

--->  Installing dnsmasq

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using dnsmasq with these commands:

%  man dnsmasq
%  apropos dnsmasq
%  which dnsmasq
%  locate dnsmasq
