Hi Simon,

This is with reference to an old discussion thread
<https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2021q4/015862.html>
from 2021 which was resolved with the patch
<https://github.com/InfrastructureServices/dnsmasq/pull/11> provided by
Petr. However for some reason it doesn't seem to have been merged into the
upstream. May be we forgot to draw your attention again in response to your
clear message
<https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2021q4/015780.html>.


The test scenarios with the results are as such for dnsmasq compiled from
this branch
<https://github.com/InfrastructureServices/dnsmasq/tree/pxe-services> -

# dnsmasq --version
Dnsmasq version 2.80-686-g58d317b  Copyright (c) 2000-2024 Simon Kelley
Compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt no-DBus no-UBus i18n no-IDN DHCP
DHCPv6 no-Lua TFTP no-conntrack ipset no-nftset auth no-cryptohash
no-DNSSEC loop-detect inotify dumpfile

After applying the patch :
***Client device - dnsmasq configuration on server - result***
Rpi - proxy - unable to test as I don't have required hardware currently
Rpi - noproxy - unable to test as I don't have required hardware currently
x86 Efi - proxy - success
x86 Efi - noproxy - success
x86 BIOS - proxy - success
x86 BIOS - noproxy - success

Before applying this patch :
x86 Efi - noproxy - fail

The x86 hardware used to test herein was Intel NUC10i3FNH as the server and
Intel NUC5CPYH as the client system. Tested on Ubuntu 22.04.
I could not test with the Rpi i.e. Raspberry Pi 4B as of now as I did not
have one handy. However, the tests with x86 systems should be good enough
to qualify this for a merge into the latest version.

The patches generated using  git format-patch master are attached herein.

Do please let me know if anything else is required to have this crucial
patch finally merged into the latest release.
