Removing lease database file when dnsmasq is not running should be 
enough.

But dhcp client can try to "renew" already assigned IP address and dhcp 
client (dnsmasq) can extend this lease if nobody is using requested ip 
address.

So you should remove both *client* and *server* databases to prevent 
such situation.

I think it is possible to configure dnsmasq to assign only configured 
ipv4 address for mac address.

For dhcpv6 I have own dnsmasq patches which assign ipv6 address bases on 
mac address...
