Package: libc6 Version: 2.11.2-2 Severity: normal There appears to be something wrong with RES_ROTATE. I had "options rotate" in my /etc/resolv.conf and my web browsers would occasionally report well known websites as unknown hosts. Traceroute also missed reverse mappings on many hops.
I snooped my DNS traffic with wireshark and noticed that sometimes the resolver doesn't even send any queries before announcing that some name doesn't exist. While Googling for the issue, I found this: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-hacker/2002-05/msg00035.html It sounds like the same issue, but I'm not sure. I hope it's useful. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libc-bin 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Binaries ii libgcc1 1:4.4.4-8 GCC support library libc6 recommends no packages.
