Hi Justin, There's nothing wrong with dnsmasq. Instead, when your wan in down, all dns queries from lan gets faked by answering fake 10.0.0.1 address which is used for showing the router's wan state and reason. You could turn it off with "Enable WAN down browser redirect notice" under Administration / System web ui page.
