Why do you have /jffs/config/dnsmasq.conf? This overrides the firmware-generated /etc/dnsmasq.conf.

Because I need to add more stuff on top of the default file (Most obvious ones to me right now are)
  1. Enforce MAC to IP Address assignment using dhcp-host entries
  2. Have a couple of server lines for pandora.com to circumvent geo-blocking (server=/pandora.com/<SmartDNS>

You could append items to the default dnsmasq.conf by using /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add instead of replacing the entire file. See https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-me...eplacing-or-appending-content-to-config-files

You're essentially running your own dnsmasq server detached from the firmware configuration. The firmware does not use resolv-file anymore, it uses server-file now to point to /tmp/resolv.dnsmasq.

Don't remember now why I went the route of dnsmasq.conf vs the .add file

Interestingly my /etc/dnsmasq.conf file does somehow contain some of my customizations (It has my server lines for pandora.com)!!! Is that normal?

Yes, because it will copy /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf to /etc/dnsmasq.conf before starting dnsmasq.

So how do I revert back to the original /etc/dnsmasq.conf?

Rename my /jffs/config/dnsmasq.conf to a different name and then restart router? Anything available that doesn't require a router restart?

BTW, apologies for not mentioning this earlier but thank you so much to everyone that has been helping me.

My suggestion:
Code:
mv /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf /jffs/configs/olddnsmasq.conf
service restart_dnsmasq
diff /etc/dnsmasq.conf /jffs/configs/olddnsmasq.conf
The last line will show you what might be different between the two and you can selectively add those items to /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add
