</div>Exactly. The SOA record is not necessary normally. And one shouldn't<br>
use that ugliness of zone transfer via dns protocol. So dnsmasq has<br>
enough support (ptr, ttl, mx) for being authoritative. One cannot set<br>
ttl for each record but this is rarely necessary. It even works<br>
without ns, it's just inelegant to have no answer when asking to the<br>
machine responsible for the zone.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>While dnsmasq doesn't generate NS records, I should think it would forward the query to the upstream nameserver, which would recurse and eventually get it from the nameserver for the parent zone. Unless the "filterwin2k" option is set, which is documented as blocking NS queries.</div>

If the configs are defined via dhcp dnsmasq is ideal because it<br>
integrates dhcp leases in the dns automatically.<br>
