FWIW: We experienced "sendto failed: No buffer space available" as well. QOS is 
not configured, but the firewall is connected to a satellite link that drops 
between 5-10% packets average. The explanation fits in with our situation.

It's almost certainly the queueing. I would skip queuing for DNS packets or use 
a separate queue so they aren't affected by bulk transfers, by its nature it 
drops packets and if you do that to DNS it's going to make the end-user 
experience of the network very poor.
