I never talked of VM on purpose, because they are not VM (hence, no hypervisor or any other controller plane). Indeed I talked of live linux distributions running on USB that I only use for very specific tasks, and of course, I run them over physical machines, but these physical machines are usually running their own OS.
But all this, imho, is not relevant at all, it was explained just to express that *sometimes* it might happen that one DHCP request matches more than one dhcp-host entry in the dnsmasq.con file. That is the only relevant situation, and my question was: is there any way to set a precedence among the potentially matching dhcp-hosts entries? I don't really understand why the philosophical discussion on what a computer is or is not. Thanks anyway everybody for the comments.
