[Dnsmasq-discuss] multiple host names?

I should have been more specific. Is there a way to do it in conjunction with a dhcp-host line? I do NOT, in fact, give the host I'm referring to a consistent address.
I was just wondering if there was some option elsewhere or using that address directive (but without specifying a specific IP).
Thanks for the feedback,

The easiest way is to use the address directive in the dnsmasq.conf
file. e.g.
address=/dd-wrt.local/dd-wrt/gateway.local/gateway/192.168.1.1
The disadvantages of address directives is that the dnsmasq.conf file is
not automatically re-read when you update it. But the address feature
is particularly useful on DD-WRT devices, because the hosts file will be
overwritten each reboot.
Note: A reverse dns lookup will not return multiple entries. e.g.
[docbill at hartnell ~]$ nslookup 192.168.1.1
Server: 192.168.1.1
Address: 192.168.1.1#53
1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa name = dd-wrt.local.
