How do I check that dnsmasq is using the server? NetworkManager started

--listen-address=127.0.0.1 --cache-size=400 --conf-file=/dev/null
--proxy-dnssec --enable-dbus=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.dnsmasq
--conf-dir=/etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d

and in /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d is only the file I dropped in there
with the fallback DNS servers.

NetworkManager logs should contain messages from dnsmasq and there
should be lines as:

  dnsmasq[7295]: using nameserver 192.168.1.1#53
  dnsmasq[7295]: using nameserver 1.2.3.4#53

telling you which servers are in use.

If you want to be paranoid, you can temporarily add the "log-queries"
option in a configuration snippet in /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d and
restart NM. After that, NM logs will show all the queries sent by
dnsmasq to each server.
