Hi, as said in the title, not every buildd allows dns resolution for outside 
websites, you can see this
e.g. on Ubuntu builders [1] failing on that test

4/36 Test  #4: dns .................................***Failed    0.80 sec
no results for terrasync.flightgear.org


(probably the dns resolver is returning something like null or whatever)

this patch [2] seems to disable correctly the test.
+-if(ENABLE_DNS)
+-      add_executable(test_dns test_DNS.cxx)
+-      target_link_libraries(test_dns ${TEST_LIBS})
+-      add_test(dns ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/test_dns)
+-endif()

an alternative might be to just remove the add_test line, to see if the test 
itself builds correctly.

thanks for considering the patch!
