For completeness, there's a #4 which is to dump bind-interfaces except-interface=lo into /etc/dnsmasq.d, but that won't work for other nameservers (though something analogous would, I expect) If you can make #2 happen without breaking things, that would seem to be worth doing, I guess the main problem is that you need dnsmasq 2.61 or a backport of the relevant code to 2.59.
