PiHole 5 suddenly stops to resolve DNS requests

Please follow the below template, it will help us to help you!

Actual Behaviour:

pihole FTL stops resolving DNS requests for unknown reasons - sometimes after some hours, sometimes after a few seconds. I cannot see anything in the logs. I tried to update to the latest development branch, without success. After restarting DNS resolver using 'pihole restartdns' or 'service pihole.FTL restart', it works again, but after some time it stops to resolve DNS requests again.

'pihole -t' shows the following output when the issue occurs:

root@raspi1:/home/pi# pihole -t

That's it, no more output and noting happens on the log. When I restart FTL service from a different shell, log continues for some time, before it again stops on a query line.

Expected Behaviour:

pihole.FTL should work without interruptions :slight_smile:
