[Bug 526386] Re: dnsmasq exits using --interface if the interface does not exist yet

[Emmet Hikory]

>From a brief look at the code, it appears that the relevant section is
in src/dnsmasq.c : 169-189.  In this mode, if unable to access an
interface because it doesn't exist, dnsmasq should poll the interface
for a configurable timeout to see if it becomes available before
quitting.  As there may be multiple interfaces, implementing this as a
push-to-back-of-queue delay until there is only one interface polling
will ensure that the majority of intentionally specified interfaces come
up as quickly as if all interfaces existed.
