Hi Donald,

it is kind of possible. But usually there is another way to solve your
situation.

First of all, you want to assign guests different addresses. Why would
you want that? I think you want to separate them from internal network.
Good design. However, that means they should be coming from different
network device. Just need to map device request is coming from to
different range and tag.

Or maybe better, have separate instances listening just on given
interface. For example have guest network have VLAN 1, internal VLAN 2.
Run dnsmasq with bind-interfaces, interface=eth0.1 and so on.
Another instance with interface=eth0.2, etc. It would separate
physically guests from home users, would allow firewall separation as
well. Possibly just one direction.

It would not be simple setup I am afraid. Requires a lot of
configuration outside dnsmasq. I guess you are looking for some simple
configuration. I am afraid I do not know simpler setup.

Is this somehow simplified in OpenWRT for example?

Cheers,
Petr
