[Dnsmasq-discuss] Using a variable in the address option in dnsmasq.conf

[Petr Menšík]

Any changes will not be read real time, only selected files like
--dhcp-hostsdir or --hostsdir. I think --hostsdir could be used for it,
reloading it without explicit SIGHUP. It will just watch for changes in
that directory. It would not allow to remove already served names
however. I think you can only add new names. I did not verify that
however myself.
