The latter you wrote. My line 7 is wrong I know, but I don't know how to 
write it differently.
I can rev 10.240.156.6 by asking 10.150.50.17. But 10.240.156.101 is 
reversed only by 10.159.59.41 (tried with dig -x 10.240.156.101 
@10.159.59.41 and works fine).

And that's my issue, what's the syntax (if available) to tell dnsmasq to 
ask for reverse for less than 0.255 range? Say ask 10.240.156.[0-63] 
revs to 10.150.50.17 and ask 10.240.156.[64-255] revs to 10.159.59.41.

And/Or, as previously asked, is there a way to tell dnsmasq to ignore 
NXDOMAIN coming from one server (say 10.150.50.17) and keep asking the 
others (till the and of the server list)?

Thanks,
