Usually, on other system, we were entering the hostname of the machines we added in the static DHCP entries so hostname would be used in the DNS forwarder (ie. dnsmasq) automatically, without having to setup an entry for each IP/hostname.

On Tomato, for example, you could add multiple names for a single IP so you could access your machine using different names. It was conveniant for let say a local HTTP proxy you'd name "proxy.local" that would be like a CNAME to the real host providing the proxy service.

Apart from defining multiple entries in the /services_dnsmasq.php page to the same IP, is there a different way to do what I need or am I just confused?

The way you describe is the only way to accomplish that.
