Well, yes and no. OpenWRT is "just" a Linux distro. The maintainers have adopted a very clever configuration scheme that unifies (almost) all of the configuration and makes configuration possible entirely through a web-based interface.

But ... I wrested control of dnsmasq from that schema. I have a very conventional dnsmasq setup with my own config files just like I had previously on CentOS.

I think its more that all DNS request now pass through dnsmasq, while previously I could arrange for some not to. And I'm not clever enough to figure out how to tell dnsmasq how to not respond to DNS requests from certain hosts on my network without resorting to running multiple instances of dnsmasq.
