The
address=/<domain>/<address>
form is actually a wildcard: any subdomain gets the same address. For
that reason, reverse IP doesn't work: given an address, there are lots
of domains that can get that address.
As you found, /etc/hosts entries (which aren't wildcards) do
automatically include reverse DNS. If you want to put names in the
dnsmasq configuration file, use
host-record=<domain-name>,<address>
instead of address=
Cheers,
Simon.
