Thank you for the idea,
unfortunately, when old-style-names are used, the MAC/name mappings are
saved in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules, so replacing NICs or
cloning installations results in increasing numbers, eth0, eth1, eth2,
... eth10.
Cheers,
Alkis

If I'm reading this correctly, it needs an extra step, to discover and
list all the interfaces, both after the initial installation and after
cloning and after motherboard/NIC replacements, e.g.
interface-name=webserver,enp2s0
interface-name=webserver,enp4s0
interface-name=webserver,enp5s0
It would be simpler if we could do:
interface-name=webserver,*
Nevertheless, it saves us from modifying the dnsmasq configuration
every
time the IP changes, so it's much better than what we had!
Thank you very much Simon!

Not using 0.0.0.0, this functionality is provided a different way, see
--interface-name
in the man page. That should do what you want nicely.
Cheers,
