I think he meant dropping the DNS request.
dropping the DNS request would result in request retransmission.
returning answer is a better idea, although we can discuss if it's supposed
to be all-zero, NXDOMAIN, or NODATA (SERVFAIL would result in
retransmission too)

Thank you. Btw why dnsmasq redirects that connections but doesn't
just drop
them? Honestly, I don't know much about networking but simple
dropping seems
like easier for resources.

dropping connections is outside of dnsmasq's purview... dnsmasq only
handles looking up hosts and IPs in the dns (internet phone book) and
issuing IPs if acting as a DHCP server... you would not expect the
telephone operator to just hang up on you if you were trying to call a
blocked number, would you? ;)
