And now you DO get pointed to the man page:

-T, --local-ttl=<time>
When replying with information* **from /etc/hosts* or the DHCP leases file
dnsmasq *by default sets the time-to-live field to zero*, meaning that the
requestor should not itself cache the information. This is the correct thing
to do in almost all situations. *This option allows a time-to-live (in
seconds) to be given for these replies*. This will reduce the load on the
server at the expense of clients using stale data under some circumstances.
