Hello, I've set up my DNS servers to sort IP addresses according to our network topology. for example, lookup for irc.sk should always return this order:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] host irc.sk irc.sk has address 195.168.2.141 irc.sk has address 147.232.40.23 this is OK, even when I repeat the lookup a few times. However, seems that some programs try addresses nio reverse order, and I'm afraid it's glibc's fault: [EMAIL PROTECTED] getent hosts irc.sk 147.232.40.23 irc.sk 195.168.2.141 irc.sk (the same after many repeats). The result is, that my clients (telnet-ssl, inetutils-telnet, ircii) are trying to connect the wrong server as first... Searching mailinglists, bug databases did not give me correct answer. Does glibc sorty/reorder IP addresses gotten from DNS? Is this fixed in any newer versions of glibc?
