Hi!</div>

I’m a user of opnsense and have migrated to dnsmasq for DHCPv4 and v6 services. However, dnsmasq randomly stops functioning and I need to manually restart it to restore DHCP services to my network. I’ve been troubleshooting the issue on the opnsense form
on the following thread:</div>

My basic testing points to an issue with serving DHCPv6 addresses. When I have router advertisement set to unmanaged the memory consumption of dnsmasq was fairly stable. When router advertisement is set to managed then dnsmasq begins consuming more and more
memory.. </div>

Let me know if you need additional information. I was asked to post to the email list by an opnsense forum moderator.</div>
