I have problems configuring static DHCP using /etc/hosts and /etc/ethers.
It seems that dnsmasq is ignoring /etc/hosts when dns server is disabled
via "-p 0" option.
Can anyone confirm?
If I'm right, is this bug or a feature?

Advice: Describe "the problem" better.
OK.
the problem is that DHCP clients listed in /etc/ethers will not be given IP
addreses specified in /etc/hosts when dnsmasq does not run DNS service
(-p 0), because /etc/hosts is not read in that case.
the workaround is to run DNS at different port (e.g. -p 54), so dnsmasq
reads /etc/hosts and provides IPS configured there do clients from
/etc/ethers, but I believe /etc/hosts should be read even without DNS,
unless explicitly disabled.
