[Dnsmasq-discuss] Is there any way to give clients a secondary DNS for when the dnsmasq server isn't running?

As per the subject, I'll explain:-

I run dnsmasq on my home server to provide DHCP and DNS services for the
home LAN.  The server is up just about all the time but there are odd
occasions when it's not available for more than just the time required
for a reboot (e.g. OS upgrades and disk checks afer a reboot).

Can dnsmasq supply a secondary DNS server to DHCP clients (when they
boot) so that, if the dnsmasq server machine is down for a while,
clients can carry on working?
