If you don't configure any dhcp-range for the subnets on the local LAN
then dnsmasq won't respond to requests from there. It will log a
warning, but that's unlikely to be a problem in your case.

So, just configure a dhcp-range for the subnet(s) that are being
relayed, and all should be fine.

Cheers,
