What does dnsmasq do in the event that it has a cached DNS entry that may be expired but the upstream DNS host isn't reachable? Does it give up and return the cached but expired entry? (That's how I'm hoping it behaves).
No, it never returns out-of-date information. Since determining if the "upstream DNS host isn't reachable" generally involves a fairly long timeout operation, it's difficult to see how you could implement this is a useful form.
