Drop --strict-order; dnsmasq is intelligent enough to ask nameservers in
an order that makes the best of possibly slow nameservers (or broken ones),
and interrogating them in strict order breaks this.
Add --no-hosts: by default dnsmasq will read /etc/hosts as a list of things
to resolve statically; this is something we want to avoid as nsswitch.conf
already lists files as the first data store to look at; where the entries
in /etc/hosts will already have been returned if that's what the user wants
to see. If the /etc/hosts file then changes, dnsmasq would have to be restarted
before the user would get the new value resolved externally. Avoid this, let
/etc/hosts override DNS entries normally through the resolver and show
changes as soon as the file is updated.
