According to:

http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html

"-A, --address=/<domain>[/<domain>...]/[<ipaddr>]"

So you can't use tags with the '--address=' option:

$ dnsmasq --test
dnsmasq: error at line 1 of /etc/dnsmasq.conf

$ awk 'NR==1' /etc/dnsmasq.conf
address=tag:kids,/youtube.com/127.0.0.1
