OK - following up my own post incase anyone looks through the archives
for debugging

got this working - main (dnsmasq does DHCP and DNS) server is 192.168.1.251
second box (linksys with dd-wrt) just doing DNS is 192.168.1.2

altered dnsmasq.conf on master to include
  dhcp-option=6,192.168.1.251,192.168.1.2

and the linksys box has an scp'd copy of my master /etc/hosts and runs
dnsmasq with the following config:

interface=br0
resolv-file=/tmp/resolv.dnsmasq
domain=example.com (well, not really)
expand-hosts
bogus-priv
domain-needed
no-resolv
no-poll
server=208.67.222.222
server=208.67.220.220
bogus-nxdomain=67.215.65.132
log-queries
no-dhcp-interface=br0
