I started out with a several questions. In writing this post, I answered a couple of them myself.
The remaining question is; Am I creating an IP conflict by having the same IP in both configurations: dnsmasq.conf.add and DHCP servers tab?
I have about a dozen manually assigned IPs using the MAC address in the -> lan -> dhcp servers tab.
I am also running dnsmasq to assign some domains on on my local apache server.
Should remove the server IP from the lan -> dhcp servers tab and set it in the dnsmasq.conf.add with:
IN the basic settings RT-AC86U's Domain Name is set to lan. All of the above are accessible over http. For example http://hillcam1.lan
The dnsmasq.conf.add file:
My network is stable. Occasionally I see "Network error: Software caused connection abort" on any running putty terminals. Usually when I leave a terminal running through the night. I guess that means I have two remaining questions.
My hardware setup:
Asus rt-ac86u running merlin 386.5_2 as a mesh router
rt-ac68u on latest stock Asus firmware as a mesh node.
Netgear GS108 switch
I hope I have made myself clear.
Thanks for the hard work and resulting Asus firmware. SNB is my go to site for network questions and searches. I'm more of a reader than poster.

The -> lan -> dhcp servers tab:dhcp-host=DC:4A:3E:44:25:AF,192.168.1.21 #hill server
Code:
hill cam back 9C:8E:CD:1E:C4:48 192.168.1.22 Default hillcam1
hill cam front 9C:8E:CD:1E:CA:E9 192.168.1.25 Default hillcam2
apache server DC:A6:32:EC:F7:68 192.168.1.21 Default hillserver # this one is the question?!
hpEnvy DC:4A:3E:44:25:AF 192.168.1.2 Default hpenvy
etc.
The dnsmasq.conf.add file:
Code:
###/jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add
### lan assignments
