Thanks, I'll seek to implement that, though I have another query: if 
dnsmasq receives a request from a client, which is directed to dns1 and 
then receives a response from that server "not-implemented" what happens 
next: does that error gets returned to the client, or is dnsmasq 
forwarding the same query to dns2 and then forwards the response to the 
client, provided it is OK?

The reason for asking this question is this: I have one dns, which only 
recognises type "A" records, and another one, which has everything else 
(A, AAAA, CNAME, MX etc). I would like to use dns1 as my primary dns 
server as it is blazingly fast and because the majority of the requests 
from the client machines would be for type "A" records, but would like 
queries for records other than type "A" to be forwarded to the second 
server, which might be a bit slower, but serves all types of requests.
