-> the --no-daemon option made it working for the --addn-hosts but it was not working without it, i.e. in the daemon mode. Based on this I guess this is the bug in Fedora-14 DNSMasq (which is the same as the one for Fedora-14 since I'm unable to get any update and the version I'm having is dnsmasq-2.52-1.fc13.i686). Should I file a bug against DNSMasq about this? I think you should triage it a bit more, e.g. with strace -ff. Anyway,

Well, you mean to use strace on the daemonized process?
Also, I've been testing the --txt-record once again and not grabbed it with wireshark and I had to query the "txt-record" TXT record for this and the wireshark was showing the quotes there as well now. Should I disable it then and use the working syntax for record name which (according to my testing) is to use *--txt-record=txt-record,"some value, which is something"* instead, i.e. to not use quotes in the name? I absolutely cannot parse this sentence.
Well, what I meant was that if I invoked dnsmasq with --txt-record="txt-record", "some value" then I had to dig for "txt-record" with quotes, i.e. using the dig TXT \"txt-record\" syntax in bash. In Wireshark it was showing request for record with the quotes, i.e. "txt-record" instead of querying just for txt-record, i.e. without quotes. To be able to query it without quotes I had to invoke dnsmasq with --txt-record=txt-record, "some value" arguments.
