[Dnsmasq-discuss] Feature request - log only once for dhcpdiscover ignored macs

[Donald Muller]

Instead of configuring the devices with static IP addresses why don’t you try letting DNSMASQ assign the addresses via reservations.

Subject: [Dnsmasq-discuss] Feature request - log only once for dhcpdiscover ignored macs

Hi everyone, I have a few iot devices in my network that even when configured to use static IP they keep sending DHCP requests each second, but never acknowledges the reply from dnsmasq leading to a flood in the logs. I tried to add
dhcp-host=xx:xx::xx:xx:xx,ignore
to /etc/dnsmasq.conf , but that only changed the log flood to one single line saying that the mac is ignored.
Would it be possible to make that log for dhcpdiscover ignored macs be in that "logged only once" mode that shows up for some dnsmasq events?

Thanks!
