[Dnsmasq-discuss] No caching unless recursion enabled?

[bob tatus]

Interesting, it looks like as of 2.61 this was added:

"Don't cache data from non-recursive nameservers, since it
	    may erroneously look like a valid CNAME to a non-exitant
	    name."

So it seems like this may be intended behaviour? If this is the case is there any possible option to allow caching from a non-recursive nameserver, as this is desirable behaviour in our environment.
