	Okay ...

	And all round nice guy ... I have been using dnsmasq since version 1 or 
so ...

	I also believe part of my problem is that dnsmasq is so nice and easy 
to setup, that it's just as easy to make a little mistake, plus, I think 
that I'm using dnsmasq in a away that might not be it's best fit ...

	I have a firewall with dnsmasq point to a few remote subnets with 
dnsmasq doing what it should, but my firewall is taking a beating and 
here is where I get these funnies, and of late, I have also started to 
see overflow errors, which some how means I might have a loop somewhere ...

	That is why I was asking for more levels of reporting, with more info 
in the reports, so that I could try and track down why a query is 
freaking out.  If I knew what the query was and where it came from, I 
might be able to figure why it's happening ...

	I think maybe my setup is getting a little too complicated of late.

Thanks for the help
