You can't solve it using /etc/ethers. The format and semantics of that file are standardised and dnsmasq can't change it. What you need to do is this: stop using /etc/ethers, and instead use --dhcp-hostsfile to read an equivalent file in dhcp-host format, that file can include lines with multiple MAC addresses in 11:22:33:44:55:66,12:34:56:78:90:12,192.168.0.60 HTH Simon. > > _______________________________________________ > Dnsmasq-discuss mailing list > Dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk > http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dnsmasq-discuss >
