[Dnsmasq-discuss] "Black-holing" local machines

[Niels Basjes]

Hi,

Checkout the special network-id tag "known"
By labeling options with    "known"  they are only used for the hosts
that are known to dnsmasq.
By labeling options with    "#known"  they are only used for the hosts
that are NOT known to dnsmasq.
