Question: can you query the dnsmasq contents while it is running?

I never really liked the fact that dnsmasq (as a local nameserver) is 
used by default by NetworkManager,

although I guess it moves the inflexibility (?) of /etc/resolv.conf to 
something more developed.

For a user seeing /etc/resolv.conf output something like:

127.0.1.1 localhost

and then not being able to verify the contents of that nameserver is a 
bit disheartening.

Particularly as I think the commands are updated over dbus and the user 
has no control over that at all.

Regards.
