Hi all,

This was just reported to me.  Others may find it useful.

I took the liberty of looking at this.  It appears that even w/ "gcc
-static", the new glibc name resolution stuff contains explicit uses of
several dynamic libraries.  If these libraries aren't present,
gethostbyname(3) will silently fail, yielding the 2250 errors. 

There's a discussion of this in the usenet archives at:

m=0

I worked around this by moving the following .so's to my bootdisk for my
ips machines:

libc.so.6
ld-linux.so.2
libnss_dns.so.2
libresolv.so.2

This may not be ideal for everyone.
