Well, it looks like it on mine and with the little traffic I am running 
I guess it cannot just be hardware as at least to one of these systems I 
can still reach it from the net even when internally it appears frozen.

Typically the *X way would be to use small tools which fit just one 
purpose. Dnsmasq deviates from this principle. I moved to dnsmasq a few 
years ago for probably the same reasons you present here. And I agree as 
long as it is doing its duty it is a nice albeit a bit complicated tool 
to configure.
