Bug Description

dnsmasq may be started before all interfaces are available. In such cases dnsmasq may quit or never bind to upcomming interfaces. In both cases dns name resolution wont work.

I could notice this together with dynamicaly created interfaces by
- VMware Workstation
- VBox-Interfaces
- KVM-Interfaces

restarting dnsmasq after these interfaces are started solves the problem, but until then dns-name-resolution wont work as expected.
