FWIW, the Pi-hole project embeds dnsmasq without any special docker alterations 
and is known to work fine in docker without restarting for months or even years 
non-stop without such issues.

Also worth considering are issues with docker-proxy - maybe the interface goes 
down temporarily and the configuration is to bind to the interface instead of 
to the wildcard address, or ...

Many possibilities and the more we know, the better. I really doubt there is 
anything systematic concerning dnsmasq in docker but rather something related 
to the particular container or the particular configuration.

Best,
Dominik
