Title: [DNS Recovery]: Get gauge() to write to the socket directly.

For some reason gauge() breaks in production when using the
packet queue. Dont know why.

We'll skip the packet queue for the gauge and see if that helps.

There is some evidence that gauge() + packet queue only breaks
for statsite. There is a semantic difference in the
implementation of gauge() in statsite and statsd.
