There is nothing wrong with dnsmasq, it just has no place in a AD domain.

Your AD domain should probably separate from your regular domain i.e. 
something like 'internal.your.domain'
Your AD DC should be running a dns server, and forwarding to the dnsmasq 
machine for anything outside the AD domain.
Your client needs to be using 'internal.your.domain' as its domain, it 
also needs to be using the DC as its only DC, unless you have more than 
one DC, in which case you can use all your DCs as name servers.

If you follow the Samba wiki, it will work, if it doesn't, then it is 
probably down to your network.
