104 and dnsmasq

First, this may just be an issue with my firewall. I've used it for
testing for a long time; I need to just back it up and rebuild from scratch.

But, since upgrading to 104, I've had two instances when dnsmasq just
stopped. I was part of the testing when this happened a while ago, so I
recognize the situation and fix it pretty fast (log into firewall,
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq start).

As I said, this may not really be an issue with anything other than an
firewall that has been used for testing for a while. But I thought I'd
mention it and see if anyone else has a similar problem.

Next time it happens, I'll get a log dump. Forgot to do it before.

Hi,

yes, I have been experiencing this issues with dnsmasq, too.

It is working most of the time, but sometimes getting a bit unreliable. After
all the trouble with DNSSEC, crashes and now this, we have decided to replace it
by unbound: https://www.unbound.net/

This has been recently merged into the next branch and should be released with
Core Update 105. It is in the nightly builds if you want to test. Please do :)

Best,
-Michael
