[Dnsmasq-discuss] Dynamic DNS

[richardvoigt at gmail.com]

While dnsmasq can act as an overlay (respond to names it knows,
forward requests *in the same domain* for unknown names), I don't
think the Microsoft DNS server can do that.  So you end up needing
different subdomains for AD-joined computers from those that aren't,
in order for every node to resolve every name properly.

Something else to note is that the Microsoft DNS can act as the
recursive server which dnsmasq requires.
