Description SpanKY gentoo-dev

attached is the ebuild

the purpose of adding this project to gentoo is to fill a hole ... the current
dns servers offered via emerge are not designed to be just for a small NAT network.

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 upstream 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 can
integrate with the ISC DHCP daemon to serve the names of local machines which
are configured using DHCP. Dnsmasq is ideal for networks behind NAT routers and
connected via modem, ISDN, ADSL, or cable-modem connections.

no dependencies here

i would suggest net-misc/dnsmasq since all the other dns servers are here
