I use rsync a lot but getting it to copy the right bits across to a
target is not a straightforward exercise.
I think what one might do is:-
Maintain an up to date image somehow (but how)
Copy the necessary files for dnsmasq across (again, how to select
files)
Trying to maintain the whole thing by copying with rsync doesn't seem
to me to be a good idea.
However, from another mailing list (hurrah!), it has been suggested
that docker may be the answer. Run dnsmasq in docker on one system
and synchronise its files across to another docker image that you
don't run until needed.
