[Dnsmasq-discuss] Newcomer to dnsmasq and having issues with DHCP

[Michael]

Hello,

I have been running ISC bind and dhcp on my network for many years and 
would like to get those services running on my Asus router running 
Merlin firmware using dnsmasq.

At the moment, I am trying to test the config file on a Linux host on 
the same subnet.  Once it is working, I will move it over to the router.

DNS seems to be working fine, but I am not getting any responses from 
DHCP at all, either for static or dynamic hosts.

Below is my config.  It is my attempt to convert my isc dhcpd.conf to 
dnsmasq.  Hopefully I have missed something simple.

Also, am I on the right track for netbooting?  I want to hand out ipxe 
by default for a couple of hosts and then point them to a URL once 
running ipxe
