The page at that link doesn't have much real information about what is 
actually going on. EDNS0 contains a whole set of options, some of which 
are supported by dnsmasq and some not.

I guess this is about the RFC-7871 client-subnet ENDNS0 option, but 
there's not really enough to go on in page to be sure what's happening.
