Is it possible to tell dnsmasq not to use one IP address in a

192.168.1.121 in their system as their IP address and it's in my
dhcp-range=192.168.1.80,192.168.1.223,12h
not that i know of... my first reaction when reading this is the user needs to
be educated to not use IPs in the DHCP range as static IPs... if they want/need
a static IP, there should be a procedure for requesting one... depending on the
OS, there may be remote management controls that can be used to adjust that
setting and prevent them from doing this in the future...
(I think they originally used dnsmasq's DHCP to get 192.168.1.121 so
it's unlikely to get re-assigned but better safe than sorry)
that's possible... we've seen similar here and they set the static so their
drive mappings would work properly... this mainly because some use IPs instead
of host names for their drive mapping linkages...
As a follow-up I guess that if I want dnsmasq to return a system name
for 192.168.1.121 (which it hasn't assigned itself) I'll need to add
it to /etc/hosts on the dnsmasq system.
yes, i believe this is correct...
