Can you not move DNSMasq to that more powerful system too? Or would it end up on the wrong side of a firewall?
That was what I was originally going to do but it's not ideal. My little UPS will only keep the lower power system up for any reasonable time and (as you surmise) the 'more powerful system' while not outside the firewall is the only system which allows connections from the outside world so I'd like to keep the DNS/DHCP off that.
Ref earlier email about DNSMasq and central bad hosts. I run that on an NSLU2 running Lenny. Uses bugger all power.

The text file for RFC 854 contains exactly 854 lines. Do you think there is any cosmic significance in this?
