Description

Maintainer: @nmeyerhans

Issue:
followed this to disable dns in dnsmasq then tried to start it, creating IPv4 interface br-lan failed; interface ignored appears in logs and dns fails

Other info: OpenWrt 21.02.5 running on a WRT1900ACS

I set /etc/init.d/named to START=99 and the issue resolves, why might this be happening? perhaps the default should be 99 to avoid issues?

Research direction

Start by reading /etc/init.d/named and checking how its startup ordering interacts with dnsmasq after DNS is disabled there. Reproduce the failure on OpenWrt 21.02.5 using the reported WRT1900ACS setup and inspect the startup logs. Done means named and dnsmasq start without the br-lan interface error under the default configuration.
