DNS only works with dnsparanioa

Hi,

great to see so much progress!

just tried SVN 163 and ran into a DNS related issue. I run coova- 
chilli on OpenWRT which acts as DNS server as well. Therefore the  
option dns1 is set to the IP address of the tun0 interface  
(192.168.182.1).

This setup was working with SVN 159; with 163 it is not working  
anymore. The client simply does not get any replies to dns requests.

I played a little and found a work-around:
as soon as I start chilli with the dnsparania option everything works  
as it should. Without it it seems chilli gets so paranoid that it  
refuses to handle dns requests at all :)

Cheers,
lc
