[Dnsmasq-discuss] [PATCH] Add run-time option to disable CHAOS TXT records

[Petr Menšík]

Hi Dominik,

Good idea. But there is copy&paste error on line 572, no help 
description is changed for new option. What does --no-ident stand for by 
the way? Wouldn't be --no-chaos more descriptive? Should we support 
optional argument to disable only some parts of provided records? For 
example cache statistics might be restricted to localhost only or 
provided only by DBus, while version might be still useful to report.

Cheers,
Petr
