Well, I think the key here is to figure out whether something has gone wrong from the kernel's perspective or if this is dnsmasq itself. I might suggest that in addition to the snoop, you may want to use DTrace to see if dnsmasq is actually reading in the frames and writing out responses or not. If it's not, we know to focus the investigation on dnsmasq, if it is, then we know to instead focus on the kernel.
