Does this paragraph lack a preposition "by" early on the 2nd line, or am
I mis-guessing the purpose?

...enables allocation of addresses *by* the DHCP server...

The manual page also seems to offer room for linguistic improvement
(apparently written by a German, so I see the typical patterns, and also
the misuse of which vs. that.

I am attaching a patch series vs. git to fix several issues in the
manpage and CHANGELOG.

Improve cache behaviour for TCP connections. For ease of
implementaion, dnsmasq has always forked a new process to handle
each incoming TCP connection. A side-effect of this is that
any DNS queries answered from TCP connections are not cached:
when TCP connections were rare, this was not a problem.

those never get cached, and performance is very bad.
This fix passes cache entries back from the TCP child process to

Evgenii Seliavka for the suggestion and initial patch.
In the router advert code, handle case where we have two
different interfaces on the same IPv6 net, and we're doing
different interfaces on the same IPv6 net, and we are doing
RA/DHCP service on only one of them. Thanks to NIIBE Yutaka
for spotting this case and making the initial patch.
