The reported DNS problems are high traffic web site (nice target):
 -monster.ca
 -hotmail.com
 -msn messenger
 -www.cnn.com
 -www.sprint.ca
 -www.futureshop.ca (.com)

DNS cache poisoning can cause intermittent probleme like what our users
are reporting. Wifidog does nothing with the DNS query (drop or let them
pass to dnsmasq).

Can it be the anwser ?

Next time, it can be easily tested if the user send the IP addresse
returned by the DNS server with is mail. If there is no DNS anwser or if
the returned IP addresse is the right one, wifidog peut être dans les
patates ;-)
