[Dnsmasq-discuss] "not giving name"

dnsmasq sometimes refuses to send a name to a host with the msg:

not giving name aar to the DHCP lease of 192.168.3.141 because the name exists in /etc/dnsmasq/hosts with address 192.168.97.141

This is correct. The problem is that the department is divided in
vlans, and the same machine gets different IPs when connected to
points in different vlans.

I wonder if dnsmasq should send the name if it finds it corresponding
to that IP in a config file, even if the name is repeated. Perhaps
just a warning could be put in the log... Opinions?
