It is intended to provide coupled DNS and DHCP service to a LAN. Dnsmasq accepts DNS queries and either answers them from a small, local, cache or forwards them to a real, recursive, DNS server. It loads the contents of /etc/hosts so that local hostnames which do not appear in the global DNS can be resolved and also answers DNS queries for DHCP configured hosts. Jerry Stutte has worked in molecular biololgy and bio informatics. ======================================================================== Friday, September 24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9:30am Weber Road Computer Club 1:00pm SCORCC-I - Internet SIG 7:30pm SLSRC - St. Louis & Suburban Radio Club CANCELLED due to Sept 18 event. ======================================================================== Saturday, September 25 2:00pm GAMP - Gateway Area Mac & iPhone Programers.

Patrick J. Crowley, Ph.D. Assoc. Prof. of Computer Science and Engineering, Wash U. Given its central role in global communications and commerce, it is natural to wonder: who is responsible for the Internet? Who keeps it operating, fixes it when it breaks, arbitrates disputes, enforces laws, and funds its growth? To explore these questions, we will discuss the uniquely collaborative and distributed nature of the Internet, along with some of the aspects of its history and operation that help explain why timely issues such as network neutrality manage to be both highly contentious and commonly misunderstood. This is a free event, but seating is limited and there are no reservations. ========================================================================= Thursday, Sept. 30 1980 MicroSoft delivers their first report regarding the "operating system" they've been hired to create to IBM representatives.
