[Dnsmasq-discuss] "dhcp-ignore = myTag, #known" was not what I thought

Now I get it... thank you...

now, a couple of related questions...

1) does "dhcp-range" allow me to match more than one tag? or to match
one (or more) and set another one?

2) when I write:

############# OUR PCs ##############
dhcp-host=00:22:33:44:55:01,192.168.1.101,net:tagIKnowYou,mycompany-PC-01
dhcp-host=00:22:33:44:55:02,192.168.1.101,net:tagIKnowYou,mycompany-PC-02
dhcp-host=00:22:33:44:55:03,192.168.1.101,net:tagIKnowYou,mycompany-PC-03


I am *setting* (and not trying to */match/*) the tag "tagIKnowYou" for
these hosts, am I?


Thanx a lot, Simon, for your help, and for a truly amazing piece of
software that let me finally get rid of ISC's awful servers...

Regards.
