What software packages would i use to turn my computer into a DNS and DHCP server?

First off, iptables doesn't do routing, and second off, you don't need to route to run DNS or DHCP.

For DNS, I would suggest bind, but lots of people like djbdns. For DHCP, I would suggest "dhcp", ISC's dhcpd.

No, routing is done by "route". djbdns is good choice, because BIND, no matter which version, basically sucks sucks sucks. They don't understand a sh*t about secure programming, are arrogant, and led to really a lot of security issues (about 54 % of all cracks before 1995 were done via an exploitable version of BIND!!).

As it's been assigned to drobbins, it seems they're calling it a portage bug. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7236. Maybe we can come up with a workaround, though. Are you using IPv6?

OK, then try commenting out this line:
Code:
#   use ipv6 && bzcat ${DISTDIR}/djbdns-1.05-test17.diff.bz2 | patch -d ${S} -p1|| die

...line 21 in src_unpack in the djbdns ebuild.
