[Dnsmasq-discuss] misunderstanding negative caching

Dear list, 

I configured dnsmasq with enabled negative cache and neg-ttl 600.  I
attempted to use it with a query that times out (configured fake dns servers
in the config file).  When I ping a host, I have NXDOMAIN in logs.  However,
every time I ping it dnsmasq asks those servers to resolve the host. 
Shouldn't I get rejection immediately based on dnsmasq negative cache? 

Thank you in advance,
