It is, or at least its "do minimal logging of DHCP interactions, considered to be generally useful." Setting --log-dhcp produces much more information about each DHCP transaction, suitable for debugging. The minimal logging does assume that a sane dnsmasq installation is not doing multiple DHCP transactions per second. I think that's a reasonable assumption. You can direct all dnsmasq logging to another file with --log-facility=/path/to/file or remain in blissful ignorance of your broken clients with --log-facility=/dev/null Cheers, Simon.
