For running two instances of dnsmasq, this is a must have. If two instances of dnsmasq are running, than you will hide
some informations between the instances. In this case you can't use odhcpd or can it use for the interfaces of one
dnsmasq instance only. In my configuration, the first dnsmasq instance provides dhcp v4 and dns caching for a network
with tor access only. The second instance is used for the common things for all other networks (dhcp v4, statefull dhcp
v6 for link local addresses, dns resolver, dnssec ...). Odhcpd is for stateless dhcp v6 for the networks of the second
instance only. Odhcpd doesn't create a hostfile, so I don't see this issue.

A solution may be, to use different hosts directories for every dnsmasq instance.
