Actually, that was just for the example.  With the "real" testing I used 
domain names such as test, bigboy, and thisisit.

All this started with a lot more stuff getting forwarded from the 
virtual systems.  It seems that libvirt needed to add some parameters 
when it started dnsmasq.  There is a patch submitted to libvirt to 
address that.  But, after getting that working, there was still the MX 
queries that were getting forwarded.
