[Dnsmasq-discuss] Minimal config: small # of A records, no upstream server

[Johnny Utahh]

Does the following serve the use case (mentioned below)?

I've updated my .conf, results below. I'm now intending records be read 
from `/etc/dnsmasq_a_records` and _not_ `/etc/hosts`.

    /etc/dnsmasq.conf:
    port=[myport]
    no-resolv
    no-poll
    interface=eth8
    no-dhcp-interface=eth8
    no-hosts
    addn-hosts=/etc/dnsmasq_a_records
    domain=[mydomain.tld]
