Yep, thank you, already figured this out. My problem was that I was not sure
how exactly DNS works, and by studying dnsmasq configuration I incorrectly
assumed that a dns server is always supposed to have an upstream server.
Apparently this is the case for dnsmasq but not the case in general. So now
with djbdns setup that I have in place that perform recursive queries
starting from the root servers this all makes sense. Thank you again.
