This seems to work well. Currently my Wifi connection is stable,
thus I disconnected the antenna to simulate the problem:

$ host kernel.org
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Dnsmasq properly forwarded the client retry:

Sep 28 19:00:03 dnsmasq[32598]: 4 127.0.0.1/35962 query[A] kernel.org from 
127.0.0.1
Sep 28 19:00:03 dnsmasq[32598]: 4 127.0.0.1/35962 forwarded kernel.org to 
192.168.178.1
Sep 28 19:00:08 dnsmasq[32598]: 5 127.0.0.1/35962 query[A] kernel.org from

Sep 28 19:00:08 dnsmasq[32598]: 5 127.0.0.1/35962 forwarded kernel.org to 
192.168.178.1


After reattaching the antenna:

$ host kernel.org
kernel.org has address 198.145.29.83
kernel.org mail is handled by 10 mail.kernel.org.
