[Dnsmasq-discuss] Can I tell dnsmasq not to use one isolated address in a DHCP range

Is it possible to tell dnsmasq not to use one IP address in a
dhcp-range assignment? I have a user on my LAN who has set
192.168.1.121 in their system as their IP address and it's in my 
dhcp-range=192.168.1.80,192.168.1.223,12h

(I think they originally used dnsmasq's DHCP to get 192.168.1.121 so
it's unlikely to get re-assigned but better safe than sorry)


As a follow-up I guess that if I want dnsmasq to return a system name
for 192.168.1.121 (which it hasn't assigned itself) I'll need to add
it to /etc/hosts on the dnsmasq system.
