While we were not seeing any issues with the dnsmasq from 2016-01-08, I 
have switched our testing system to the 2016-01-14 version. If no issues 
show up, then we will generally deploy it and report back. We are using 
8.8.8.8, and 8.8.4.4 for external DNS.

Best regards, 
Fred

Hi,

Simple question - simple answer: yes, *I* would do that.

Best,

P.S.:
BTW, next version including new patches (045-048) is online:

Download:
http://people.ipfire.org/~mfischer/dnsmasq_275_2016_01_14
MD5: a47e090fe132c155f2d041ab4272c52b

For new patches included, see:
http://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/mfischer/ipfire-2.x.git;a=commit;h=0e5e221f940471c173a780be402e2812adf380f3

This is the compiled binary, nothing more is needed.

- Copy to '/usr/sbin'
- Stop 'dnsmasq' (/etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop)
- Rename (don't forget backing up the *old* version!)
- Start 'dnsmasq' (/etc/init.d/dnsmasq start).
