To answer an earlier question: no https is involved in ANY of my stuff.

I use dnsmasq for dns, which is where all my .home stuff is

I use Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Server because dnsmasq does it wrong. (Does not say the right things for most clients to get the dns server - linux clients do not get the 'correct'' dns server, mac clients DO ??
