It is a very sane default that the "RaspberryPI" is a DHCP client. Same as a smart phone is a DHCP client in most cases. For us, dnsmasq mailinglist, is awareness on "What is the server?" and "What is the client?" what matters. We have to ask for such information when "problems" are reported. Problems in qoutes because most reports I have seen here are the "problems" I had in my early days with dnsmasq. Dnsmasq does what it is supposed to do. Regards Geert Stappers Enjoyed the discussion on dnsmasq+dhcpcd+"DHCP client co-incidently getting the address of DHCP server".
