Why is the pidfile under /tmp/run/dnsmasq/dnsmasq.cfg01411c.pid?

Looks correct according to init script:

Each instance should use a separate PID since it supports multiple instances.

Thanks. I need to set the pid file in another config file. :S And if it is generated more or less in a dynamic changing way, I am not sure how to do it.

You can set the pidfile in the olsrd config, so it can trigger a re-read of hostnames:

Any idea how I could insert the path?
