I'm not very keen on touching the relevant code in dnsmasq to make it 
work in this case: getting "always correct" behaviour would be difficult 
and my gut says there's a risk of nasty regressions on existing, working 
  systems. My understanding is that the workaround of manually 
specifying the broadcast address works, is that true? If so, I'd 
probably be inclined to add this to the set of cases where the broadcast 
address must be given. (That's already the case for using relays, for 
instance.)

Cheers,

Simon.
