I'm not 100% certain, but the way I read the man page, the script is triggered after the dnsmasq event occurs, so you can pass some custom behavior to a script after dnsmasq has managed the lease. However, it sounds like you want to customize dnsmasq behavior and insert your own algorithm for allocating IP addresses? Just out of curiosity, why? You can specify quite a complex set of allocation rules using tags and more, why would you need to have anything other than that?<br clear="all">

I'm trying to set up a DHCP server so that on any request for a new lease I can execute a script and have the script return an IP address (and other information).<br>
<br>
Is this something that is currently possible with dnsmasq? From reading the man page, I can't tell if I will get this behaviour with --dhcp-script --leasefile-ro.<br>
<br>
Basically, it would be impossible for me to specify all the possible DHCP leases at startup, but when a lease request is received I would be able to determine what IP to assign.<br>
