I will keep the first question: Is it possible to have an option to
disable the dns part of dnsmasq?
That I've seen? Sort of: Just change the port dnsmasq's DNS resolver
listens on. Add, for instance:
port=54
to your dnsmasq.conf, restart, and it should bind to 54 instead of 53.
Firewall off traffic to port 54, and it's invisible.
I don't recommend this action in general; I'm just using it in one
corner case where I have 31 zones being served up on the same box as
dnsmasq. While dnsmasq is awesome for local caching, it's not designed
for serving up lots of authoritative DNS (at least, not that I've seen
:-).
Thanks to Simon for the great work, by the way.
