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.

Subject: [PATCH 1/5] man/dnsmasq.8: Properly capitalize DHCP acronym.
Same as for the dbus, allow specifying ubus service name (namespace) on
the command line as an optional argument to --enable-ubus option.

If dnsmasq is not acting as an authoritative nameserver (no second
argument to --auth-server) then it should not appear in the NS RRset.
This leaves simply the list of servers specified in --auth-sec-servers.
When a request matching the clid or mac address is
recieved the server will iterate over all candidate
addresses until it find's one that is not already
leased to a different clid/iaid and advertise
this address.
Using multiple reservations for a single host makes it
possible to maintain a static leases only configuration
which support network booting systems with UEFI firmware
that request a new address (a new SOLICIT with a new IA_NA
option using a new IAID) for different boot modes, for
instance 'PXE over IPv6', and 'HTTP-Boot over IPv6'. Open
Virtual Machine Firmware (OVMF) and most UEFI firmware
build on the EDK2 code base exhibit this behaviour.
The idea of this option was already discussed years ago on the mailing
list:
https://dnsmasq-discuss.thekelleys.org.narkive.com/ZoFQNaGo/always-ignore-client-identifier#post4
In our production environnement, we discovered that some devices are
using 'client identifier' not unique at all, resulting on IP addresses
conflicts between several devices (we saw up to four devices using same
IP address).
The root cause is probably a buggy operating system/configuration of
decices, but this patch add a configuration workaround on server side
when fixing clients is impossible.

But make auth-server required when any auth-zones are defined.
The "glue record" field in auth-server is needed to synthesise
SOA and NS records in auth zones, so the --auth-server has to
be specified. If makes sense, however to define one or more
auth-zones that appear within the normal recursive DNS service
without actually acting as an authoritative DNS server on
any interface. Hence making the interface field optional.
Adds option to delay replying to DHCP packets by one or more seconds.
This provides a workaround for a PXE boot firmware implementation
that has a bug causing it to fail if it receives a (proxy) DHCP
reply instantly.
On Linux it looks up the exact receive time of the UDP packet with
the SIOCGSTAMP ioctl to prevent multiple delays if multiple packets
come in around the same time.
It is currently only possible to let the TFTP server serve a different
folder depending on the client's IP address.
However it isn't always possible to predict what the client's
IP address will be, especially in situations in which we are not
responsible for handing them out (e.g. proxy dhcp setups).
Extend the current --tftp-unique-root parameter to support having a
separate folder per MAC address instead.
The current --server syntax allows for binding to interface or
address. However, in some (admittedly special) cases it is useful to
be able to specify both. This commit introduces the following syntax
to support binding to both interface and address:
--server X.X.X.X@IP@interface#port
Based on my tests, the syntax is backwards compatible with the current
@IP/interface#port. The code will fail if two interface names are given.
v1->v2:
* Add man page description of the extended server syntax (thanks Simon Kelley)
