[Dnsmasq-discuss] multiple instances

[AWL bvba]

Thanks ,

This more or less points in the direction I didn't want to go :-(

No systemd in Alpine, but my brute force solution would be copying the
dnsmasq rc-service script and make a copy for each instance (with it's
relevant parameters).  If that is the case I have some reading up and
studying/testing to do...

Cheers ,

Wim
