I don't want queries to go to upstream DNS servers. I only want to use
the local /etc/hosts file.
I ran tcpdump on the dnsmasq machine and I can see the DNS queries
coming in but dnsmasq is not responding.
Syslog shows the dnsmasq is not responding either.
Thanks,
Gary

You're stopping dnsmasq from getting upstream DNS servers from
/etc/resolv.conf (no-resolv) but you're not supply any other
nameservers. I wouldn't expect queries to time out, but I would expect
them to fail.
Try adding
log-queries
to /etc/dnsmasq.conf and then looking in the syslog, you should be able
to see if queries are getting to dnsmasq and if so what it's doing with
them.
Cheers,
Simon.
