Lonnie, Thanks for your patience!
Where do I make suggestions for new releases? - A new DHCP settings section of the web GUI* - DHCP settings independently for each interface. - DHCP lease lifetime variable. - All dhcp-options available. (* So that you don't have to put DHCPRANGE in user.conf and the rest of the dhcp-options in dnsmasq.static. Since adding a dhcp-range in dnsmasq.static adds this new range and keeps the original as well.) Thanks again, -Graham- PS: what script is doing the re-start of dnsmasq?
