Yes.

You may also want to further tune usage via '--no-dhcp-interface' (or
maybe '--no-dhcpv4-interface' and '--no-dhcpv6-interface' in a future
release, see
https://www.mail-archive.com/dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk/msg16828.html
).

However, I wonder whether tagging requests for the interfaces and
setting up corresponding dhcp options for those tags wouldn't already
match your requirements with only one instance of dnsmasq running.

Kind regards,
