G’day,
I only just came across dnsmasq and installed and configured it yesterday. It’s great. Thank you.

My question. What is the reasoning behind dhcp-host static entries being subnets, not start and end ranges? The syntax on the man page suggests start and end addresses should work, though the description says subnet. Sure enough a range fails —test. Fortunately I was close to a /25 boundary anyway, but is there some reason it couldn’t work the other way?

Thanks again - it’s a really well structured, easy to configure solution for small networks. One that’s been sorely missing.
