Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but since the original assignment from the dhcp pool is reasonably random, and after than dnsmasq works very hard to offer the same IP address to the same machine based on mac address or hostname or some other network characteristic that is configurable. I'm taking your question to mean is there a way to force dnsmasq to give out DIFFERENT IP addresses even if we've processed this machine before. If this is what you want, then you might need to explain the problem you are trying to solve, because generally this is undesired behavior, at least it is on the networks I manage. Rance
