[Dnsmasq-discuss] Re: Multiple mac addresses to one ip

[Yaakov Nemoy]

I just spoke with a friend who hacks on NetworkManager, and he
basically stated it's a one line fix, but network manager currently
doesn't honour the config file OOB.  It might be something that Ubuntu
hacked in.  Guess I got a late night hacking task to accomplish.

Cheers,
Yaakov
