[Dnsmasq-discuss] Patch: Allow wildcard aliases in --bridge-interface option

[Neil Jerram]

Hi Simon,

Please would you consider the attached patch, which allows a trailing '*' wildcard
in each <alias> that is specified in the --bridge-interface option.  My team is
working on a new form of host/VM networking where VM data is routed instead of
bridged, and this patch allows us to use dnsmasq as the DHCP server in that scenario.

You'll see that the patch updates the English and French man pages accordingly.  It
doesn't update the Spanish one because - assuming I've understood it correctly - that
version doesn't yet mention the existing wildcarding possibility for the --interface
option; hence there wasn't some nice idiomatic text that I could reuse for
--bridge-interface.

Many thanks,
	Neil
