   It now follows the firewalls dhcp4/6 settings as does everything else on   
   the network and there have been no changes/reboots made to the firewall.   
      
   All my other OS 15.4 Linux boxes and android devices on the network,   
   work properly DNS wise as they have always done.   
      
   Even when I added the DNS servers manually it still used the same   
   settings,that what was worrying me.   
      
   Next little project is to create a Firewall DNS allow rule for   
   cloudflare and my ISP's ipv4/6 DNS servers only then put a firewall deny   
   DNS/log the rule after it so I can see if it happens again.   
      
     My guess would be something external to your machine, although a failure
