dnsmasq is nice; what about CUPS?

I already run stock Hoary as low-end server between DSL and LAN. Works rather well, on an EPIA-M6000. I had some very occasional PPP service failure and the ghostscript has not been perfectly faithful with all PDFs, but so far the base system proved perfectly stable doing its little serving.

For tiny networks like mine, I can recommend "dnsmasq" for the DNS and DHCP services instead of getting bind and dhcpd up to speed. It's in "universe". By the time you have found out "caching-nameserver" are the google buzzwords for bind setups of this kind, you have your whole LAN running on it.

Will CUPS be easier to remote-admin than in the desktop version (where it more or less refuses that)?
