+Subject: [PATCH] Fix infinite retries in strict-order mode.
+
+ If all configured dns servers return refused in
+ response to a query; dnsmasq will end up in an infinite loop
+ retransmitting the dns query resulting into high CPU load.
+ Problem is caused by the dns refuse retransmission logic which does
+ not check for the end of a dns server list iteration in strict mode.
+ Having one configured dns server returning a refused reply easily
+ triggers this problem in strict order mode. This was introduced in
+ 9396752c115b3ab733fa476b30da73237e12e7ba
+
+ Thanks to Hans Dedecker <dedeckeh@gmail.com> for spotting this
+ and the initial patch.
