[Dnsmasq-discuss] Does dnsmasq support cname within same domain?

Hi,
I am running dnsmasq for dhcp/dns of a local test domain: test.example.com.
Everything works fine. When a dhcp client (eg: client1) comes up, it gets
the IP from dnsmasq, and I can dig/nslookup client1.test.example.com to get
its IP.
When I add a cname in the same domain, eg:
cname=alias.test.example.com,client1.test.example.com
dig/nslookup of alias.test.example.com only returns name
client1.test.example.com, not the actual IP of client1.test.example.com
It's interesting that if I add the cname for a different domain, eg:
cname=alias.dummy.example.com,client1.test.example.com
dig/nslookup of alias.dummy.example.com will return both name
client1.test.example.com and its IP.
I tried a few different versions but that doesn't make a difference.
Is this a known issue/limitation?
Thanks!
Frank
