[Dnsmasq-discuss] Patch with option to filter A records

[Trey Sis]

For some reason I didn't receive all mails from the list in my inbox, so
I'll reply to this mail. Also sorry if I mess something up. I haven't
used a mailing list in over two decades.

Thanks for the tip. I'll have a look at that for future use. The patch
probably didn't apply because I just copy&pasted it here. The source
code is a bit inconsistent in using a mix of spaces and tabs for
indentation. Tabs probably got lost when copying.

Thanks also for taking care of the manpage! Happy to see this hopefully
land in upstream :)

Cheers,
