I don't think it matters with test OS or test application.
it may matter,
I also tried:
ping alias.dummy.example.com works, but ping alias.test.example.com gives
unknown host error.
(even though both names cname to the same client1.test.example.com in
dnsmasq).
What do there result in?
dig alias.dummy.example.com alias.test.example.com client1.test.example.com
dig -t any alias.dummy.example.com alias.test.example.com
client1.test.example.com
I tried ping from various machines (Mac, Windows, Debian 9, Debian11) on
the test network. Same result.
I also tried curl alias.test.example.com which gives: curl: (6) Could not
resolve host: alias.test.example.com
but curl alias.dummy.example.com works fine.
ping and curl are not tools for debugging DNS problems.

I think it is more a dns-client problem as a dnsmasq problem.
As in: I don't yet understand the "problem".
Are you implicitly answering my question in the subject line with a "Yes"
answer, because if the answer is "no", there is really no need to
troubleshoot any further.
there seems to be no limitation of what you asked for, however if there's a
problem, we should find it first.
