[Chilli] chilli malformed DNS

[Nestor A Diaz]

Hi Guys. ( i have already post this on the website forum)

I have a couple of servers running coova chilli and they all run fine.

However people reports that sometimes the coova chilli turns 
unresponsive, i run chilli with debug option as follows:

/usr/sbin/chilli -c /etc/chilli.conf --debug

and after some days or hours chilli keeps logging the following to the 
syslog forever:

Aug 24 11:17:07 panorama coova-chilli[28483]: dhcp.c: 230: Layer2 appconn
Aug 24 11:17:07 panorama coova-chilli[28483]: dns.c: 73: bad value 7/1494/6
Aug 24 11:17:07 panorama coova-chilli[28483]: dns.c: 155: failed parsing 
DNS packet
Aug 24 11:17:07 panorama coova-chilli[28483]: dhcp.c: 1619: dropping 
malformed DNS
Aug 24 11:17:07 panorama coova-chilli[28483]: dhcp.c: 1978: dhcp_dns()

I am not sure what triggers this behavior, i will have to set up a 
fail2ban script to monitor this on syslog and then restart coova chilli 
when it happens, but before that i will like to report this behavior and 
read your comments on that, as i think that could be probably a bug in 
coova chilli.

Slds.
