looks like a standard hosts file setup to me... but it could also be done
another way, as well...

eg:
server=/host1.new-domain.com/ip.num.ber.here
server=/host1.old-domain.com/ip.num.ber.here

i think that would work as well as entries in the hosts file for something like
this...

of course, this would only work for those systems looking up on that dnsmasq
instance...
