[Dnsmasq-discuss] dnsmasq end of cache dump

There's no end-of-dump marker; I guess your application was never
envisaged. A patch to add one would be simple.

As a woraround: a cache dump always _starts_ with the line

time <number>

so if you dumped the cache twice, the start of the second dump would
serve as a unique marker for the end of the first.

Cheers,

Simon.
