  That I've seen?  Sort of: Just change the port dnsmasq's DNS resolver 
listens on.  Add, for instance:

port=54

  to your dnsmasq.conf, restart, and it should bind to 54 instead of 53. 
Firewall off traffic to port 54, and it's invisible.
  I don't recommend this action in general; I'm just using it in one 
corner case where I have 31 zones being served up on the same box as 
dnsmasq.  While dnsmasq is awesome for local caching, it's not designed 
for serving up lots of authoritative DNS (at least, not that I've seen 
:-).

  Thanks to Simon for the great work, by the way.
