Bug#811242: libc-ares-dev: Please provide way to talk to DNS servers on ports != 53

[Gregor Jasny]

Hello,

it seems that in recent versions ares_set_servers is also accepting 
custom ports for the configured list of servers:


https://manpages.debian.org/testing/libc-ares-dev/ares_set_servers.3.en.html

Does that solve your issue?

Thanks,
Gregor

Bug#811242: libc-ares-dev: Please provide way to talk to DNS servers on ports != 53

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

Package: libc-ares-dev
Version: 1.10.0-2

I tried to get libnss-resolver working in Debian to talk to Tor on a
machine where port 53 is already used by dnsmasq, and this proved to be
very hard as the DNS server port setting is ignored.

The upstream pull request https://github.com/bagder/c-ares/pull/19 >
solve it, but it is not meged because it changes the API and ABI of the
library.
