dnsmasq

I have installed DNSMASQ but it was not starting as 53 port was busy.

I found out that ubuntu already had dnsmasq package and it's working.

Now the problem is...I just want to be able to resolve my hosts in /etc/hosts through it

i.e: nslookup somehostonlan localhost to be resolved to certain IP taken from /etc/hosts file.

but this is not happening.

Why? BTW, as the caching DNS server it's working fine. I just want it to resolve hosts from /etc/hosts file that's all
