I have this problem too. I'm using some kind of redundant links. I have links of 2 diferent companies, dns from company A don't work when i'm using the link of B and vice-versa....

Of course. I tried MaraDns as recursive and authoritative dns server and like it a lot. My only problem now is to disable dns part of dnsmasq in order to use the port number 53. I will keep the first question: Is it possible to have an option to disable the dns part of dnsmasq? Thank you both for the answers.
