I couldn't remember last night, but here it is. Apparently most of the Linux-based firewalls use
this package. Also of note is that "from version 0.95 the cache honours time-to-live information
and removes old records as they expire."
Also, to save you some reading:
"Supported platforms include Linux (with glibc and uclibc), *BSD and Mac OS X. Dnsmasq is included
in at least the following Linux distributions: Gentoo, Debian, Slackware, Suse, Smoothwall, IP-Cop,
floppyfw, Firebox, LEAF, Freesco, CoyoteLinux and Clarkconnect. It is also available as a FreeBSD
port and is used in Linksys wireless routers."
bill_c uses m0n0wall, but it is based on freeBSD and I don't know what it uses. Apparently it too
uses dnsmasq http://m0n0.ch/wall/docbook/intro-features.html So our group should be pretty much
covered.
