I now added "log-queries"

/etc$ grep log-queries /opt/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf
log-queries
/etc$ sudo port unload dnsmasq
/etc$ sudo port load dnsmasq

I don't find where the log is from the manual. Would you please let me
know to check it?

> dig @192.168.1.25 oxygen.yulab

Here is the current output.

/etc$ ping oxygen.yulab
ping: cannot resolve oxygen.yulab: Unknown host
