I think I've nailed down the problem now. I didn't look close enough at the QDNS log.
It turned out that there seems to be an incompatibility with IPNetRouter 1.4.8. QDNS and IPNR 1.4.7 worked fine together, but when IPNR 1.4.8 is running when I start QDNS, QDNS fails to open an UDP stream and that seems to be the cause of everything.

Feb 1 08:36:22 Server starting
Feb 1 08:36:22 Unable to open UDP stream
Feb 1 08:36:22 Server shutting down
Feb 1 08:36:22 Shutting down UDP stream

Everything works fine when starting up QDNS without IPNR running.

I haven't double checked that this only happens with IPNR 1.4.8 (not 1.4.7) since it's a production server, don't want to mess with it more than necessary.

For the record, IPNR is only configured as a DCHP server. Only one ethernet interface is defined in IPNR.


Thanks Chris and Christopher for verification and suggestions!
