Comment 19 for bug 231060

@Thomas,
    959037 means that this issue potentially exists for everyone, rather than just those few folk with specialised needs (mine having been running both a virtualisation host and a tftp server on the same machine).

    The main issue being the racy nature of running multiple greedy dnsmasq configurations. There's likely a right way to do it, but it's tricky, especially as most of the potential solutions significantly complicate many of the current user-oriented use cases for dnsmasq.

    That said, I'm probably not the best person to own this bug any longer, having gotten stalled with the project that required tftp a couple years ago, and so not really trying to solve this. I have another project with TFTP coming up soon, and an running libvirt on the laptop I'd like to use as a server: if I happen to find a generic config that works, I'll post a patch (probably based on the plan outlined above, unless the changes to the code in the meantime are sufficiently large to make that no longer workable).
