If dnsmasq on the router is down, what exactly those hosts would be able
to do? Ping themselves? I expect the casa.lan assigns addresses via DHCP.
dnsmasq can provide zone transfer ability when --auth-zone is used. But
I would not recommend it for your use. Windows DNS should cache
previously queried hosts, so even on small downtime it will serve their
addresses. Abilities of dnsmasq are limited, it is not full fledged
named server, which can send notifies on every change in dns zone. It
does not support incremental transfers. Zones would need to query
dnsmasq for serial number changes. There is some support for auth zone
and downloads, but forwarding seems better suited to me. Also much more
tested.
I would expect various incompatibilities with AXFR downloads, because
dnsmasq implements just small subset of common primary server features.

You technically don’t need a zone transfer, you can use a
conditional forwarder on the Active Directory DNS. Setup a
conditional forwarder for casa.lan and point it to the IP of your
router where dnsmasq is running. After that, when AD DNS receives
a query for anything in the casa.lan domain, it’ll forward the
query to dnsmasq and it’ll respond with the appropriate IP address.

Thanks for your fast response. But in case that casa.lan is down, no
resolve is made. That is why I'd like to make zone transfers.

Yes, this is what I need, but I'm unable to list the clients
from the dominio.lab windows server machine.

Tips:
- Do not ask others what your limits should be ( "able
for me" )
- Drop restrictions ( "without needing any ..." )
- Use open questions (avoid "get it working [yes/no]"
questions)
> Please, let me know if I should give you any other

Tell your audience what they might be missing.
Explain them the cool thing that you want, aim for
common interrest.
> Thanks a lot in advance
No, not accepted.
Express "thanks" when you get something usefull.
