Static DNS and DNSMasq question

Hi, All

I have my RT-N66U flashed with Tomato Shibby build, I set my router's static DNS Server to OpenDNS, and I have set some custom address in the Dnsmasq as well, like:

address=/nas.home/192.168.1.9

What I found was that entering nas.home won't work in the browser (give me a OpenDNS error page) unless the Use internal DNS option is ticked, which defeats the purpose to setup static DNS servers, Is it designed like that, I thought internally it should looks at ones defined in Dnsmasq config first, if not exists then passing to OpenDNS, but apparently it doesn't work that way, Am I wrong?

Thanks,

William
