Our current release is 0.2-beta1.  NoCatSplash works pretty well.
See the TODO file for what's going on:

Are you doing something non-standard here?   I know that NoCatSplash has a
bad habit of blowing over various iptables rules because it assumes some
kind of generic setup.

Brandy, what do you think about simply allowing all udp/53 traffic outbound
and doing away with the stupid DNShosts thing? 
Or, an even better idea:   If DNSHosts is left blank, allow all udp/53
outbound.
