Oh! Here's a thought: I noticed that adding dns-forwarder overrides

restart the service (from the Status -> Services) or just click the Save

This should not be necessary.

When you add an override, you click save on that screen, then apply
changes on the main DNS forwarder screen.

At that point, the overrides are already working (Confirmed again by a
test I just did on my home router)

Yeah, I take that back. :-) I rechecked my notes, and what I really found is that when you add an override *domain*, dnsmasq isn't restarted by that action. You need to either Save on the DNS forwarder page or restart the service.

dnsmasq needs to be restarted because the domain overrides are implemented by adding additional command line args (--server=/dom/ip) to dnsmasq.
