	Its Debian package's Description: states:

--cut: http://packages.debian.org/sid/dnsmasq --
    Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure, DNS forwarder and DHCP
    server.  It is designed to provide DNS and optionally, DHCP, to a
    small network.
--cut: http://packages.debian.org/sid/dnsmasq --

	As it's only a forwarder, and thus doesn't store the zone
	locally (beyond its cache), I see it inapplicable to the task of
	serving a DNS zone (say, the aforementioned .siamics.net.) as a
	«slave» server.
