This situation should be supported and working. But if those hosts do
not use DHCP to "activate" those names, you have to use different option
for them. Use --host-record instead, like:
dhcp-host=192.168.10.203,mediapi
host-record=proxy,192.168.10.61
I think dhcp-host does not care for the ord
I am wanting to keep all of my configuration in the dnsmasq.conf file,
therefor am not maintaining a separate hosts file.
For some machines that are not running a DHCP client, and therefore
never request an IP lease, those machines will not be returned when
dnsmasq is asked for name resolution
