The config file for dnsmasq usually has an empty result for the $insert_cobbler_system_definitions macro.
The current behaviour in manage_dnsmaq.py is to only write a dhcp-host entry for ia64 achritecture to handle a different pxelinux.0 .
In all scenarios where I've deployed cobbler I've used dnsmasq in such a way that I need a dhcp-host entry for every system.
The main reason is that during the initial PXE boot the only thing that is known of a system is its MAC address.
The file /var/lib/cobbler/cobbler_hosts conly contains ip addresses and hostnames, no MAC addresses.
So what I need is cobbler to write a dhcp-host entry for every known host with as much useful information as possible.
This is the fix I have running here that really improves the things I can do with the cobbler-dnsmasq combination.
