	Now, when the zone is modified, will it send (receive) notices
	to (from) the other servers for this zone?  (Having a single NS
	serving a “global” zone doesn't seem like a clever solution.)
	Will it support the following AXFR (IXFR) queries?

	Honestly, I'm failing to see any definition of “slave
	nameserver” that dnsmasq may satisfy.

	Besides, my zones generally contain not only AAAA and A records,
	but also MX, SRV, SSHFP, and, on occasion, TXT ones, which, to
	the best of my knowledge, have no representation in the hosts(5)
	format.

	Like in serving a .home.local zone, I guess?  For such a case,
	there's no point in having a “slave” NS, which is mentioned in
	both the Subject: and the OP.

	(Having said that, I don't think that it supports DNSSEC,
	either.)
