Dear Simon,

Thank you for your fast response and sorry for my slow reponse. 

Good news! Your release fixed our problem. The alias work like a
charm again!

A bit of an odd feeling that I am the only in the world using the
alias ;-) since it hadn't been reported by others.

PS: Ever since I discovered dnsmasq a couple of years ago, I am in
love with it. Over Xmas I am going to play with the new PXE
functionality and hope to say goodbye to the last ISC-DHCP that we
are still using in one project.
PPS: Can we make a donation to your project?
