# DNSMASQ

Service Criticality:  Low

## Description
DNSmasq is a lightweight, open-source service that provides DNS (Domain Name System) and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) services to a network.

## Use
We use dnsmasq to resolve hosts within the home network.  This allows us to use the same URLs both inside and outside the network.  Inside the network, the hosts resolve to an internal network address using dnsmasq.

## Installation/Recovery
