All of the examples I see for setting up dnsmasq on networks without a
"real" domain always say to choose a "fake" local domain (e.g. .lan,
..home.arpa, .local, etc.). Then you also configure dnsmask to treat
that domain as local so that requests for that domain are never
forwarded.
Why?
Are you not allowed to have have an empty domain so that "plain"
hostnames are satisfied locall (e.g. from /etc/hosts and the DHCP
leases) and only requests with a domain are forwarded to the external
server?
DNS supports this. I don't know if dnsmasq does.
Regardless of whether it's technically possible: why would you want
this? This will cause issues. Many hostname validators require the
presence of a dot, for example. Would a search domain work for you?
