I could solve the issue for me. I do the same for the host file like the config file. A temp host file is initialized.
Before dnsmasq is started, this file is renamed by mv to the required name of the host file.

It comes from odhcpd6. It calls very often dhcpv6.script which generates an action ifupdate for interface wan_6.
