+Q: Can I run dnsmasq in a Linux vserver?

+A: Yes, as a DNS server, dnsmasq will just work in a vserver.
+ To use dnsmasq's DHCP function you need to give the vserver
+ extra system capabilities. Please note that doing so will lesser
+ the overall security of your system. The capabilities
+ required are NET_ADMIN and NET_RAW. NET_ADMIN is essential, NET_RAW
+ is required to do an ICMP "ping" check on newly allocated
+ addresses. If you don't need this check, you can disable it with
+ --no-ping and omit the NET_RAW capability.
+ Adding the capabilities is done by adding them, one per line, to
+ either /etc/vservers/<vservername>/ccapabilities for a 2.4 kernel or
+ /etc/vservers/<vservername>/bcapabilities for a 2.6 kernel (please
+ refer to the vserver documentation for more information).
