[Cerowrt-devel] dnsmasq ipv6 stuff

[Maciej Soltysiak]

Something doesn't add up for me. Editing /etc/dnsmasq.conf and restarting
yields a process:

/usr/sbin/dnsmasq -C /var/etc/dnsmasq.conf

Now, /var/etc/dnsmasq.conf, being compiled from /etc/config/dhcp doesn't
seem to have the settings from /etc/dnsmasq.conf
Also, things like ra-names in /etc/dnsmasq.conf doesn't seem to add
--enable-ra to runtime options.

Am I wrong in thinking that /etc/dnsmasq.conf, although is pared during
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart, does not get you control over options of the
final dnsmasq process?

Regards,
Maciej
