Aaarg, easy, and not working. Here's the setup:

router w/Dnsmasq 192.168.1.50;
pyramid.alrac.net

server w/SipX and BIND  192.168.1.90;
server1.sipx.alrac.net

dnsmasq.conf:

domain-needed
bogus-priv
local=/alrac.net/
expand-hosts
domain=alrac.net
listen-address=127.0.0.1
listen-address=192.168.1.50
listen-address=192.168.2.50
bind-interfaces
#delegation to sipx nameserver
server=/server1.sipx.alrac.net/192.168.1.90
#upstream ISP nameservers
server=[upstream dns]
server=[upstream dns]

The sub-domain I want to delegate is sipx.alrac.net. I have tried these 
variations:

server=/sipx.alrac.net/192.168.1.90
server=/ns1.server1.sipx.alrac.net/192.168.1.90

None of them work. I can query the sipx DNS server from the router:

pyramid:~# dig @192.168.1.90 -t A ns1.sipx.alrac.net

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> @192.168.1.90 -t A ns1.sipx.alrac.net

Querying server1.sipx.alrac.net also succeeds. But Dnsmasq does not see it at 
all, and returns NXDOMAIN. I get the same results from other LAN PCs.

Yes, I am restarting dnsmasq after making changes.

Any brilliant ideas?

thanks!
