After each change to /etc/dnsmasq.conf I use:

1) 'systemctl stop dnsmasq' to end dnsmasq background execution
2) followed by 'rm /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases' to delete the lease file
3) followed by 'systemctl start dnsmasq' to restart dnsmasq

The commands are in a short executable bash script. So no, I do not believe
this is a problem related to an existing lease file.
