Hi Sebastian,

To be honest I don't have the faintest idea what could be the issue
here. Can you try it using a more recent version of maradns and see if
you still have the observed issue? The version that's currently on your
OpenWRT box is from late 2007 and there have been a few stable releases
since then. Sorry that I can't be of further help with your problem here.

Kind regards,
