    <p>If dnsmasq on the router is down, what exactly those hosts would
      be able to do? Ping themselves? I expect the casa.lan assigns
      addresses via DHCP.<br>
    </p>
    <p>dnsmasq can provide zone transfer ability when --auth-zone is
      used. But I would not recommend it for your use. Windows DNS
      should cache previously queried hosts, so even on small downtime
      it will serve their addresses. Abilities of dnsmasq are limited,
      it is not full fledged named server, which can send notifies on
      every change in dns zone. It does not support incremental
      transfers. Zones would need to query dnsmasq for serial number
      changes. There is some support for auth zone and downloads, but
      forwarding seems better suited to me. Also much more tested.<br>
    </p>
    <p>I would expect various incompatibilities with AXFR downloads,
      because dnsmasq implements just small subset of common primary
      server features.<br>

            <div>You technically don’t need a zone transfer, you can use
              a conditional forwarder on the Active Directory DNS. Setup
              a conditional forwarder for casa.lan and point it to the
              IP of your router where dnsmasq is running. After that,
              when AD DNS receives a query for anything in the casa.lan
              domain, it’ll forward the query to dnsmasq and it’ll
              respond with the appropriate IP address.
