HI, I basically want my own dns server (based on dnsmasq) running either on promox OR inside a VM so that it serves dhcp/static dhcp to my intranet machines.

theoretically i could install a minimal ubuntu/slackware VM (bridged?) with dnsmasq installed and that would be fine...right?

OR does promox has dnsmasq-like capability ?

thanks,

I think a lot of people (I do anyway ;)) run a software firewall (i.e. inside a VM) and then have that act as the gateway for all the other VMs across the cluster. So install something like vyatta or shorewall or pfsense install a VM, configure it to be a DHCP server and then install your other VMs and hopefully they should be auto-configured from the DHCP server.

Works a treat, but of course it doesn't protect your actual nodes in anyway at all.
