[Dnsmasq-discuss] Doing something wrong with dhcp-option=option:router

Hello,

I want a machine getting an IP through DHCP to have a specific gateway 
and not go through the machine running dnsmasq.

In my dnsmasq.conf I have

dhcp-option=option:router,192.168.4.1


running dnsmasq --test says syntax is OK.

but it would appear (sic) that this isn't working. Both a FreeBSD 
machine and a Windows7 machine are using the address of the machine 
running dnsmasq.

Questions:

1) is there some variant of --test which shows what will be sent in 
reply to a DHCP request?
2) can someone indicate simple way to see what either FreeBSD or Windows 
machines receive?

TIA
Bernard Higonnet
