If you use 802.1q vlan and bring the these directly to the router
(running dnsmasq) and assign the two different networks to the
interfaces, dnsmasq will just do this correctly.


dhcp-range=10.10.0.1,10.10.255.254,4h
dhcp-range=10.60.0.1,10.60.255.254,4h

These lines will just find the correct interface and supply the correct
DHCP records.
