[Dnsmasq-discuss] Can I serve two different DHCP domains from a single dnsmasq server?

Thu Aug 5 19:00:10 BST 2010

What version of dnsmasq are you using?

Your dhcp-host entries have their fields in all the wrong order.

Try
dhcp-host=02:00:0A:00:10:00,192.168.1.1,bar

Also, bar-range on the beginning of a dhcp-range line is incorrect.  It
should be tag:bar-range (in current versions of dnsmasq), but is not
actually necessary since the dhcp-host line controls the issued IP.
