If you're the author of the application you can periodically unset a RES_INIT bit mask option in _res.options. Next time your application will try to call res_send() it will call res_init() at first. This is according to a resolver(3) manual page. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
