I just set up tomato[1] this weekend and noticed the following under
the "Advanced" networking options:
Intercept DNS port
(UDP 53)
It's off by default, but maybe you have something like this turned on?
It may not need to be tomato, obviously--even the default linksys
firmware may do this, perhaps without even being an option. I have no
idea, since I didn't even glance at the firmware before blowing it
away.
