Hello:
I use dnsmasq on OpenWrt. There the information of the DNS
servers is stored on /tmp/resolv.conf.auto. I don't know where is the
equivalent location on a Debian installation of dnsmasq. In the
absence of that knowledge try sending a SIGUSR1 signal to the daemon.
The manual states:
When it receives a SIGUSR1, dnsmasq writes statistics to the system
log. [...] For each upstream server it gives the number of queries
sent, and the number which resulted in an error.
