    Eh? How would it know who to use as dns forwarder if that were the case?
    No - it can have all it likes, PLUS 127.0.0.1. Dnsmasq reads
    resolv.conf to figure out the forwarders.

        -r, --resolv-file=<file>
                      Read the IP addresses of the upstream nameservers from
                      <file>, instead of /etc/resolv.conf.

    That's right.

    Probably.
