[Dnsmasq-discuss] 'dnsmasq_client_id' not always present on dhcp-scripts

[Taylor Fox]

Hi Simon,
     Thanks for your response, I must have missed the extra arguments, but
using those did the trick. Thanks for your help.

ps: I am sorry if this comes in under the wrong thread, emails from your
servers don't seem to be making it to Google's servers when sending emails
to my address.

Thanks
    Taylor Fox
