AFAIK, dnsmasq doesn't support any sort of failover configuration. If
you want redundancy, you're probably going to want to run ISC dhcpd
and BIND.
I understand that there's no failover per se in dnsmasq. The problem
with bind is
that we don't control DNS for our network, and DNsmasq lets me supply
name
service for our internal NATTed systems while passing on other name
queries.
