[Dnsmasq-discuss] address assignment without checking context?

Greetings

We have set up two interfaces that are physically connected to the same
network: 
eth0: 10.0.150.10 netmask 255.254.0.0
eth1: 10.128.150.10 netmask 255.254.0.0

dnsmasq is configured to only statically assign IP addresses via
the client id. Excerpt from dnsmasq.conf:
dhcp-host:id=Linda,10.0.150.100,12h

Now, if a DHCP request from a client with client id "Linda" arrives
over eth0, then everything works as expected - 10.0.150.100 will be
assigned to it. If the same DHCP request arrives over eth1, it is
discarded (DHCPDISCOVER(eth1) .... no address available).
My question: Is there a way to configure dnsmasq so that DHCP
requests with client id are not checked for their "context" but
instead are handled regardless on which interface they arrive?

Thanks in advance!
Ben
