In my experience, dnsmasq is smart enough to not give out its own address, or any addresses mentioned in dhcp-host lines (except to the computer to which it is reserved). It may be confusing, because your address pool is smaller than the dhcp-range suggests, and you'll have fewer leases than expected when dhcp starts failing, but dnsmasq won't do anything so broken as giving away its own address. > > regards > PJ > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list > Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk > http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss >
