Yes, but the Samba tried to get dnsmasq to provide this as opposed to
writing their own DNS:

I was just saying that they'd have been better off if they would have
looked at dnscache/tinydns, but that's probably under the bridge now.  Yes,
dnscache/tiny DNS would have provided the support Samba needs and it
wouldn't be has heavy as BIND.

Andrew Bartlett said it's perfectly acceptable to put dnscache in front of
Samba DNS:

In practice, dnscache is a very thing layer between client machines and
Samba DNS.
