[conspire] internal rerouting problem

[Tony Godshall]

Look at dnsmasqd.  It's a nice local DHCP server/masq rule/caching DNS.

If all you need is the DNS redirection, you can comment out the DHCP and
masq in /etc/dnsmasqd.conf (IIRC).  And you set up any extra DNS entries
there as well.  It's way easier to deal with than traditional DNS servers
and the config file has plenty of inline documentation and commented
examples.

Best Regards.
