Hi Simon,

i have the same probleme here. I just plugged in the network-cable to my 
VoIP-Phone (snom 360). Snom discovered for an ip-address and dnsmasq 
gave it a free address in the dhcp-pool. After that, i added the 
mac-address to the dhcp-host-addresses and set the ip-address to a 
different one. Snom 360 allways got DHCPACK for requesting the old 
ip-address. I had to delete the dhcp-lease-file-entry and restart dnsmasq.

Michael.
