Title: Q: Why would DNS problems prevent restarting X?

Hello,

We have replaced NIS with DNS for querying hostnames and since
we have, when one DNS server is down, X cannot be started.
The problem seems to effect XFree86 4.1 as well as the Solaris
6&7 X servers.  It appears that if the primary DNS server goes
down (forcing DNS to rely on the secondary) then X will continue
to run, but it won't restart.

What relationship does DNS have to this?

Thanks,

Robert Boehne
