This is by design: dnsmasq can _proxy_ queries for any RR type, but it only caches A, AAAA, CNAME and PTR records, since these represent the vast majority of queries seen. By limiting the generality of the cache, significant savings in resource use are possible, which is valuable for a daemon target as small systems with limited memory and CPU.
