Figured I'd pass this along. I found a really simple DNS server that is
great for home network use -- rainbow-dns[1]. No need to play with BIND or
PowerDNS or whatever other huge this-is-for-big-networks DNS server you'd
normally use. It works really well with a service manager like `runit`.

Records are a simple JSON document:

```
{
  "records": [
    { "name": "foobar", "A": [{"address": "10.0.0.1"}] },
    { "name": "barfoo", "CNAME": [{"data": "foobar"}] },
  ]
}
```
