[Dnsmasq-discuss] ethers should have precedence over client dhcp request

[Michael Rack]

Hi Richard,

i am an advanced user :-D You don't have to tell me, that i have to 
restart dnsmasq in order to reload the configuration-data ;-)

Of course, dnsmasq was restarted after changing the configuration, but 
no ip-change on the client was affected.

Michael.
