-Dnsmasq is lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder designed to
-provide DNS (domain name) services to a small network where using BIND
-would be overkill. It can be have its DNS servers automatically
-configured by PPP or DHCP, and it can serve the names of local
-machines which are not in the global DNS. It is ideal for networks
-behind NAT routers and connected via modem, ISDN, ADSL, or cable-modem
-connections.
+Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server.
+It is designed to provide DNS and, optionally, DHCP, to a small network. It
+can serve the names of local machines which are not in the global DNS. The
+DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows machines with
+DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS with names configured either
+in each host or in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq supports static and
+dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP for network booting of diskless machines.
+
+Dnsmasq is targeted at home networks using NAT and connected to the internet
+via a modem, cable-modem or ADSL connection but would be a good choice for
+any small network where low resource use and ease of configuration are
+important.
