[Dnsmasq-discuss] multiple upstream servers

Hi Folks,

I am trying to configure dnsmasq to selectively send requests to 
different upstream servers based on their IP addresses which have been 
given by them by dnsmasq. Here are the relevant lines of code.

dhcp-host=00:a1:b0:08:61:67,floater,tag:red,192.168.13.109
dhcp-host=00:c0:a8:be:ed:d0,Ziong,tag:green,192.168.13.110

dhcp-option=tag:red,option:dns-server,10.88.13.3
dhcp-option=tag:green,option:dns-server,10.88.13.4
server=10.88.13.4#53

The above does not work. I can make query from floater and it still uses 
sever 10.88.13.4

If the server option is taken out, then dnsmasq does not forward the 
queries anywhere. It is like the dhcp-option has no effect.

I came with this kind of configuration by doing google searches, but 
they were 7 year old posts.

Can someone please help find the right configuration or guess what could 
be wrong with the configuration?

Sam
