DHCP and DNS server

[Dogstar]

Hi,

I'd like to have a DHCP and DNS server for my local network on my NAS. Do you think that's possible in the future?

Best Regards

Oh yes, that would be a great function!

+9999, plus DNS server, minus DHCP server.

after the mail server, dns server you miss, huge.

+ 1 here.

I want to find a way to have dnsmasq on ADM.

To do:
Install Optware ipkg
Install from ipkg, dnsmasq
I use lan1 + Lan2 Adaptive load Balancing
dnsmasq is proxy , because i use for DHCP my Router
192.168.xxx.xxx = ip Adress (192.168.0.0)

Example config for dnsmasq :
dnsmasq.config
---------------------------------------------cut---------------
port=0
#log-dhcp
#enable-tftp
#tftp-root=/volume1/pxe
dhcp-range=192.168.xxx.xxx,proxy
bridge-interface=bond0, eth0, eth1
dhcp-leasefile=/volume1/pxe/dnsmasq.leases
# a TFTP server; either dnsmasq's built in TFTP server or an
# external one. (See below for how to enable the TFTP server.)
#dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0
#tftp-port-range=1028,1030
# Boot for Etherboot gPXE. The idea is to send two different
# filenames, the first loads gPXE, and the second tells gPXE what to
# load. The dhcp-match sets the gpxe tag for requests from gPXE.
#dhcp-match=gpxe,175 # gPXE sends a 175 option.
#dhcp-boot=net:#gpxe,undionly.kpxe
#dhcp-boot=mybootimage
---------------------------------------------cut-----------------------

Copy the S99dnsmasq.sh startscript to /volume1/.@plugins/etc/init.d for autostart.

dnsmasq startscript from install dnsmasq :

S99dnsmasq.sh
------------------------------------cut--------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

if [ -f /var/run/dnsmasq.pid ] ; then
kill `cat /var/run/dnsmasq.pid`
fi

rm -f /var/run/dnsmasq.pid

sleep 2
/opt/sbin/dnsmasq
------------------------------------cut--------------------------------

That works, because i use dnsmasq as proxy for my PXE server.

Great stuff.
I was about to use a centos VM inside VirtualBox, but this is much cleaner. I already had a dnsmasq.conf from my previous install.
This solves it for me.

Thanks for the tip.

Would this allow a device to connect to say LAN2, and share the NAS internet?

You would need to turn this NAS into a router, possible with iptables (don't ask me how since I don't know it by heart) a mix of and iptables script (check arnos firewall scrip) would possibly do the trick , but unsure why would you want that.

On this thread we've been discussing using the NAS as a DNS and DHCP server via dnsmasq. I'm pretty new here, just had this asustor last week and loving it so far.
