[Dnsmasq-discuss] Script dnsmasq's IP generation

[Petr Menšík]

I think you should be able to use dhcp-mac to assign tags, then use
separate dhcp-range only for selected tags. If you are able to create
patterns matching this way, no external script would be required.

dhcp-mac=set:special,AA:BB:CC:*:*:*

dhcp-range=tag:special,192.168.2.2,192.168.2.255
dhcp-range=192.168.1.2,192.168.1.255

Cheers,
Petr
