sorry typing whilst in meeting with friggin touchpad accidentally moving my cursor around on my laptop kbd. :) i straced telnet and it fails to load resolv.conf - loads nsswitch.conf and then loads some nssswitch module .so and then seemingly decides how to do dns lookups. we pretty much need to dump dns.c and move to old-school gethostbyname ... but do it in a thread and marshall back to mainloop instead. its far less pain (well gethostbyname_r ...) > I'm guessing you're trying to say that the libnss_dns library will fall back > to some default config if it fails to find a resolv.conf file?
