I just ran across http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2014q1/008009.html which is exactly what I want to do at my home. Why you ask? Well, I have 5 computers (one for each room), 2 file servers, 2 media players and 2 laptops. Not real impressive, but DNSMasq setup correctly, blocks banner ads and bad sites (yeah I get the lists from a couple of places - it's all automatic to me). so the "bad" sites get sent to my own web server which basically says "Oops, you didn't intend to be here". Which is ok. I know what it means and why I ended up there. I'm the only one who counts. What I don't want is the boring "site not found" (NXDomain). I thought I knew where that page was generated from within windows, but I cannot remember and Google just isn't helping. So I thought, how about DNSMasq? But the above link explains why not. I'm running DNSMasq on a DNS-323 "file server". I believe I've found other programs that might do something close to what I want, but I don't know those programs and would rather stay with the tried and true. I thought if enough people requested this feature, you might reconsider...
It's really not a good idea: this is probably the definitive paper on why not:

Did I tell you, I love this little gem? dhcp is fantastic. I have 10 devices that can be configured simply with DNSMasq. How cool is that?
Glad you like it! Cheers, Simon.
