[Dnsmasq-discuss] Script dnsmasq's IP generation

[me@foxt.dev ​]

Hello Geert.

I'd like to confirm that the solutions posted by you and Petr worked

Sorry for my late reply, I didn't receive the email from the mailing list
(I assume I changed my settings wrongly), and Geert's email got caught up
in the Gmail spam filter.

Thanks to you both, foxtdev
