Hello,
We are using dnsmasq as DNS server for our public VPN server and today
we found a rare issue where DNSMasq filled the entire send buffer of its
UDP socket.

Low CPU usage, RAM is ok and disk is 38% used.
DNS resolution became very slow and we saw using tcpdump that maybe 1
out of 20 requests were answered.
nslookup to 8.8.8.8 works fine.
We restarted dnsmasq service and the issue went away immediately and the
Qs were back to 0 as expected.
I understand these Qs may fill up if there is no acknowledgment from the
peer while using TCP sockets but these are UDP and don't require ACK.
What could be the cause of this?
Thanks,
