dnsmasq is capable of being the first DNS for clients and determining which
requests should go to the AD controller and which to external DNS.  Or, the
configuration you describe is also possible.


Where Ravi appears to have gone wrong is in thinking that /etc/resolv.conf
addresses would be sent to client.  dnsmasq never does that.
