Ah, perfect - thanks very much, Nicolas.

I was doing my testing using the OS-packaged dnsmasq on my laptop, which
was 2.79.  Looks like shared-network was added in 2.81.  I'll upgrade
and do some testing, but it looks from the description like this is
exactly what I'm looking for.

Much appreciated.

Regards,
Paul
