From Gentoo Wiki
In order to (only) provide DNS services, first identify the upstream nameserver to use. If this is the same nameserver as specified in /etc/resolv.conf then no additional steps need to be taken. Otherwise, point dnsmasq to the proper resolv.conf file through the -r (--resolv-file) command line. Its syntax is the one used by the /etc/resolv.conf file, although dnsmasq only looks at the nameserver definitions.
