these connections were timing out during connect, rather than quickly determining that there was no route to the unavailable hosts and failing quickly. potential translation: We continue to shoot ourselves in the foot by filtering all ICMP without understanding the implications. Cheers, Dave Hart

completely align with my recollection. There's no mention of fixing the bricking bug I mentioned. The closest likely mention is of a 3.60 fix: Version 3.50 to 3.60 1. Fixed factory firmware flash capabilities. It does confirm the NMEA timing fix for 3.70, on the other hand. Cheers, Dave Hart

this is entirely uncommon. Then you're going to either accept the hit to reachability, or you're going to use at least one third-party authoritative DNS service provider who can slave your zone over v6 and serve it over v4. puck.nether.net likely fits the bill and is free of charge.
