Hallo, JD,

router won't query itsself:
/etc/resolv.conf must ONLY contain
nameserver 127.0.0.1
AND
/etc/dnsmasq.conf must set
resolv-file=/etc/resolv.dnsmasq
Or whatever you decide to call that file, which contains the list of
the real nameservers.
Just a (not tested) idea:
pppoe and router connections into the WAN lead (in many distributions)
to a file "/etc/ppp/resolv.conf" which contains the 2 nameservers the
ISP proposes.
"resolv-file" may lead to this file.
Viele Gruesse!

Hi Helmut,
Even so, I do not see the need to let the host be bothered by a changing
IP address provided by the ISP.
Let all that be handled by a cheap router, whose LAN ip address remains
constant to the lan in it's
subnet for which it is the gateway. You can always query the router for
what IT'S nameservers (provided
by the ISP) are.
I am surprised that people are making work for themselves for nothing.
Cheers,
JD
