[Dnsmasq-discuss] Feature request:

I'm trying to manage as much of my static config as possible using only
/etc/ethers (managed basically as a small text database)

However, I have a small number of machines where I fudge things a little
for convenience, eg my laptop I force the same IP on both the wired and
wireless interface (it allows me to unplug the wired network, walk away
from my desk and my ssh sessions don't drop).

This config I haven't been able to figure out how to express in
/etc/ethers notation and I need to use /etc/dnsmasq.conf like:

dhcp-host=01:02:03:04:05:06,06:05:04:03:02:01,192.168.1.222

If it's possible to use ethers could you please describe how?  If it's
not could I please make a feature request to support this in some future
release?

Thanks also for answering my previous question

Cheers

Ed W
