My dnsmasq works normally most of the time, I thought. Today when my internet went down my Kodi installations were moving like molasses (only local content). After awhile I tried putting the ip of my sql server / mythtv backend instead of their fqdn (below in /etc/hosts) and that fixed it. Kodi moves real fast, fully loaded and ready within 10 seconds of starting it. All art, selecting something and it plays instantly. Before, even with my internet on it was a bit of a waiting game.
TLDR - Maybe I just have stuff in the wrong order. Ultimately when the internet went down my dns resolution for local went to crap.
/etc/dnsmasq.conf - I left out my statics with dhcp-host lines.

# Dns
port=53
domain-needed
bogus-priv
strict-order
expand-hosts
domain=mylan.home
