    This is useful when using dnsmasq as DHCP server for a set of VMs
    whose data is routed by the host instead of being bridged.  In this
    scenario:
    
    - There is an unbounded set of TAP interfaces that have no IP address
      at the host end.
    
    - DHCP allocation is done from an IPv4 address range associated with a
      dummy interface.
    
    - We run dnsmasq with --interface dummy --interface tap*
      --bind-dynamic, so that it listens on all the TAP interfaces, and
      --bridge-interface=dummy,tap*, so that it will allocate IP addresses
      via the TAP interfaces from the range associated with the dummy
      interface.
