[Dnsmasq-discuss] mixing synth-domain and auth-domain does not appear to work for me.

Actually, there is a reason. It doesn't in general make sense to include
the records created by synth-domain in a zone transfer, since there are
likely to be a lot of them. They could be included in answers for the
auth-zone, at the expense of the additional complication that the zone
answered by dnsmasq becomes no longer exactly the zone that's transfered
to a secondary (since the synth-domain answers can't be included in the
transfer).
