[Dnsmasq-discuss] Making dnsmasq listen to only one IP address

[Paul Chambers]

Have you tried specifying 'bind-interfaces' as well? I think it's what 
you're looking for. I'm using it in combination with 'except-interface' 
to have dnsmasq listen to only the internal network interfaces. The man 
page has a good description of what 'bind-interfaces' does, and it works 
as described for me.
