Only if you tell them to do so. By default dig and nslookup do the query to the same resolver IP that the system libraries use. This isn't the place to argue about DNS lookups. But yes, they use the same DNS server by default, but nslookup doesn't use the system name services for the query, it talks directly to the DNS servers. Hence it by-passes any system cache, which was my point. I can see it doing it using strace and you can change the DNS server it queries from within the program so it can't just hand off the queries to the OS. If there is a cache in use, it is inside the Evolution libraries. No, as Milan said, Evolution doesn't cache the queries, all such network activities are handled by other libraries. If a command-line ping, dig, or host command returns the new IP for a DNS name, Evolution should be using that as well. Not necessarily, it depends on the individual libraries being used. If it does not, that would be a bug. Not necessarily. The DNS entry has a lifetime, it is not at all unreasonable for the client to assume that the name-IP mapping is valid for the entirety of the lifetime. That's the whole point of it - i.e. to reduce the number of DNS queries necessary by caching the results.

Strictly that is true, but one would expect a reasonably configured system to use a single resolver library for everything. Usually that is libresolv.so, which is part of glibc. No, that's just not so, it's much more complex than that. Most user programs, like ping, use routines like 'gethostbyname' (or their more modern equivalent) - those routines get their information from a variety of sources - /etc/hosts, YP/NIS, DNS - which ultimately might use libresolv. Gnome applications tend to use the GIO libraries. And DNS querying programs like nslookup, host and dig go directly to the DNS server. On my system (Fedora 22) nslookup and evolution both link to libresolv, though ping doesn't. Things are complicate further by systems such as nscd - Name Service Cache Daemon that, as it says in the man page, provides a cache for the most common name service requests - and that includes hosts. The default TTL for hosts in nscd is 1 hour. I stopped using nscd when I moved away from Sun workstations so who knows. That's why I said in reply to the original poster that you need to be careful about using things like nslookup to verify DNS entries since other parts of the system may be caching previous results. I don't dispute that. poc ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list

Hi, it's not running it, it's the opposite. When evolution starts, it lists all available plugins and disables them. Unfortunately WebKit also loads those plugins (even they will be disabled a tick later) and some of them gives a notice of them during this load on the console.

Either the cited text can be treated as Preformatted, which means the line character-width will go beyond the limit (set to 72 characters by default), or the lines will wrap in this odd way. There was a code to merge such wrapped lines and make then a nice flowing paragraph, but that also doesn't always produce the right code, because it's hard to know whether the line break is due to line limitation or intended by the writer (aka there are too many corner cases).

I sure hope that GIO hasn't copied that stupid idea. A more probable GIO user bug is doing the resolve and saving the address object for later use, never considering that the IP will be different next time. ___ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
