 This plugin sets up the use of dnsmasq on a given CNI network so that Pods can resolve each other by name.  When configured,
 the pod and its IP address are added to a network specific hosts file that dnsmasq will read in.  Similarly, when a pod
 is removed from the network, it will remove the entry from the hosts file.  Each CNI network will have its own dnsmasq
