Dnsmasq is a caching DNS first, and an authoritative much later. So, it's possible for dnsmasq to have a SOA record, but changing it would probably require editing dnsmasq.conf and restarting dnsmasq. The part of dnsmasq.conf you need is "auth-soa": auth-soa=2016021014,hostmaster.example.com,1200,120,604800 The meaning of these fields is described in dnsmasq(8), and from left to right it is: serial, hostmaster, refresh, retry, expiry.
