Debug dnsmasq not loading conf?

On my laptop Ubuntu 16.04 I place a conf file at /etc/dnsmasq.d/myApp.conf with:



custom.myApp.com=192.168.12.1


Then I turn an Access Point on 192.168.12.1 and I can nmap custom.myApp.com to see all my ports mirrored.



Yet when I try the same thing on an embedded device running Ubuntu 14.04 my settings don't seem to take effect.



The dnsmasq versions are 2.75 and 2.68. Is there a way I can check what configuration files are being loaded?

          I found the changelog here. I'm thinking 2.72 added the functionality I'm using to load dnsmasq.d/*.



          Version 2.72 
          ...
          Extend --conf-dir to allow filtering of files. So
          --conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d,*.conf
          will load all the files in /etc/dnsmasq.d which end in .conf
