Since I am using the Fedora package for dnsmasq, where previously I used my self
build bianries, I had to make this switch.

I can witness the DHCP part is working quite well, but I am not able to resolve
names of clients acquiring an IP from the dhcp-range option.

It used to work flawlessly when leases was read from the ISC generated file.

For the record, I am using 2.33, with bost static and dynamic IPs served.

Thanks a lot in advance
