multiple ips for wildcard domains using dnsmasq's config format

Question

dnsmasq is capable of assigning multiple static ips to one host when using the hosts file:

1.2.3.4 bla.com
4.5.6.7 bla.com

nslookup:

Name:   example.com
Address: 1.2.3.4
Name:   example.com
Address: 4.5.6.7

However, wildcards in hosts are not possible. dnsmasq's own config file format allows them though:

address=/example.com/1.2.3.4
address=/example.com/5.6.7.8

The problem here is: a lookup will always return 5.6.7.8 only. 1.2.3.4 is getting overwritten

Is there a approach combining these 2 attempts? It seems weird that dnsmasq is capable of assigning multiple ips to one host when using hosts format, but not when using their own config file format.

Answer 1

According to this discussion, there is no way to do this in dnsmasq without substantial code changes, unfortunately.
