I have the same problem with my WRT54G router. I know this is a bug in the firmware not in Linux, but I do see this as a regression simply because I did not have the problem before. I simply don't need IPV6 yet, when I do, I'll think about upgrading my routers.

I now worked around it by installing the pdns-precursor, and setting 127.0.0.1 as DNS, but It would be very nice if a user-friendly workaround was added. Also, I can't use the internal DHCP-to-DNS functionality of my router anymore.
