Comment 2 for bug 1980146

Hi, it typically happens while using firefox, when it makes any of its automatic or requested network accesses. I originally thought firefox was hammering it, but I was also able to provoke the behavior with another tool, wget I think.

In terms of config, the /etc/dnsmasq.d/foo.conf above is it, with the exception of about ~40 server=... lines. The file checks out though:

⏵ dnsmasq --test
dnsmasq: syntax check OK.

The command below will stop the issue, for a while:

⏵ sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq
