Frankly, I can't picture the network we are talking about.
Three or four devices are involved:
 * Server running dnsmasq being a DHCP server
 * a client on the same LAN as dnmasq
 * probably a router
 * Wireguard device being a "VPN server", presumably called "the host"


I'm lost.

Isn't this "what / where define the DNS to used by VPN client?" ?
