Hello!

Had a breakthrough on what's going on, and it's down to a caveat I missed when 
reading the man page on localise-queries:

> Return answers to DNS queries from /etc/hosts and *--interface-name* which 
> depend on the interface over which the query was received.

And of course, this issue has to do with docker. With Docker, even though the 
container is listening on 2 different interfaces, and 2 different IPs, the 
inner container, and thus dnsmasq, only sees 1 interface, with all addresses 
coming from it. Hence localisation isn't quite working.

If I run dnsmasq with the exact same config but on the host, where it can see 
the different interfaces, works perfectly!
Testing was done in 2.79 and 2.76, with a config file practically identical to 
your CLI arguments.

Technically, there's not a bug here per-say, but it'd be really handy if there 
was a way of looking at the source IP when determining which record to return 
rather than just the interface?

Thanks!
