[Dnsmasq-discuss] Using dhcp-host hostname as address for DNS

Hallo, /dev/rob0,

>>>
>>> dhcp-host=00:11:22:33:44:55,myhost

What about the addresses (not the "dhcp-host" definition(s)) in a  
separate file:

  addn-hosts=/path/to/hosts.LAN

and a file "/path/to/hosts.LAN" like

# IP-address    Hostname
192.168.0.100   Host100

# etc


Viele Gruesse!
