In this case, all addresses to be dished out by the DHCP server should be included in the dhcp-range option.


This isn't quite true. Dnsmasq will dish out addresses that aren't in the dhcp-range but they have to be in the same _subnet_ as the dhcp-range.


Thanks for the clarification, I just reread https://thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html. The --dhcp-host documents it indeed. Simply reading --dhcp-range is not enough to fully graspe what Dnsmasq can do!
