I just confused myself trying to set up dnsmasq on P2 so that other

dhcpcd rather than static IPs.

I'm getting the idea dnsmasq was designed to provide a method of routing
an internal machine through a gateway machine and out to the external
DHCP server (in this case this would be my broadband service provider).

If I get what you're trying to do here you're not going to have much luck.
Your provider will only allow one IP address to be DHCPed to you local
network, the rest have to come from your internal network.

If you want dynamic internal addresses you have to run a DHCP server on
your Internet connected machine and run IP masquerading to route the
traffic.
