1. it's the default config from debian - I have not changed it.
(and it's commented out)
2. it was already explained that the problem lies elsewhere, my e-mail was
even reply to that explanation.
It looks like the CNAME doesn't work for dhcp-assigned names although it
should according to the config snippet above.
however, one should first verify this.
I avoid problems of this type by defining:
- hostnames and IP addresses in /etc/hosts
- hostnames and MAC addresses in /etc/ethers
so the hostnames exist all the time.

Yes providing (configuring) hostnames plus IP-address

Still curious about the challenge that original poster is facing.
looks like the OP badly described the problem, but the behaviour is
described at:
https://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2022q1/016188.html
in short:
$ dig @192.168.0.253 alias.dummy.example.com alias.test.example.com
client1.test.example.com
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;alias.dummy.example.com. IN A
;; ANSWER SECTION:
alias.dummy.example.com. 0 IN CNAME client1.test.example.com.
client1.test.example.com. 0 IN A 192.168.0.70
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;alias.test.example.com. IN A
;; ANSWER SECTION:
alias.test.example.com. 5 IN CNAME client1.test.example.com.
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;client1.test.example.com. IN A
;; ANSWER SECTION:
client1.test.example.com. 5 IN A 192.168.0.70
where client1.test.example.com. returns "cname" record but not the resulting
A record, despite being known to server.
with "-t any" it looks even different:
$ dig -t any @192.168.0.253 alias.dummy.example.com alias.test.example.com
client1.test.example.com
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;alias.dummy.example.com. IN ANY
;; ANSWER SECTION:
alias.dummy.example.com. 0 IN CNAME client1.test.example.com.
client1.test.example.com. 0 IN A 192.168.0.70
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;alias.test.example.com. IN ANY
;; ANSWER SECTION:
alias.test.example.com. 5 IN CNAME client1.test.example.com.
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 31132
;client1.test.example.com. IN ANY
