Hi Richard Crane,
if you have also an forward host entry, the reverse address will added
fully automatic. So the entry won't be added, but reverse lookup will work
nevertheless.

I have added lines of the form

to implement rDNS lookups, but I get entries of the form "dnsmasq: bad
address at /etc/dnsmasq_hosts line 19" in the log file on startup.
But: the reverse lookup works --
