reading it again, the poster in the linked article wanted:

- create a list of domains to forward to DHCP-provided server

- forward requests for all other domains to server provided by server= 
   directive

using configuration like:

server=/google.com/#
server=/#/1.1.1.1

original request from mentioned thread:
https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2021q4/015924.html


I also see that OP later redefined the problem from:

--address=/#/......

to:

--server=/#/......


https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2022q3/016494.html


but according to the changelog, this patch should fix either.
