I finally got the router based version running.
Never could get the consolidated block host file to successfully save and remain after reboot on the router itself, and instead changed the script to write and read everything off a file folder created on a connected USB drive instead.
Log Entry: " Feb 22 21:54:20 dnsmasq[1577]: read /mnt/USBDrivename/adblock/hosts.blocked - 24096 addresses "
Still not sure the fused hosts.blocked file updating after every reboot, but I'm not linux smart enough to trouble shoot that part of the script...
