Thanks Rance, you saved me from writing the same answer.

How does dnsmasq behave if there is a configuration error in the config

why this wouldn't be true of a suplemental config script being referred
to in the main one.
And as to --fail-safe: I don't see how this is reasonable, as it will
lead to undesirable operation and possibly even broken clients if the
mistake includes part of the dhcp configuration.
Its annoying, but probably better for services not to start if they
can't interpret/understand their starting state.

I'm finally managed to find a way to build from sources. One initial
feedback:
I cross referenceed the conf script e.g.
conf-scrip=/tmp/adblock-expander.sh
If the file doesn't exists or has a broken syntax it will make the whole
dnsmasq process failing with a message like "/tmp/adblock-expander.sh
returns a non 0 exit code something"
This is perhaps a wider topic and goes a bit out of scope for this
feature request, but perhaps we should:
1) remove this error control for conf-script and simply log+skip errors
rather than crash land the whole dnsmasq.
2) perhaps introducing a new "--fail-safe" option for dnsmasq to extend
point 1) to any broken directive in the configuration
Thanks!
