In BIND 9.7, we're planning to provide an experimental "stub library" implementation that uses the internal resolver routine of the BIND9 recursive server. If I understand the above correctly, that's exactly a "smarter" stub resolver you'd be looking for. It's "experimental" in many points, however, including: - not all /etc/resolv.conf options are supported - only getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() are supported as "top-level" API functions. In other words, there'll be no "smarter" gethostbyname() or gethostbyaddr(). - likewise, there'll be no lower-level API functions like res_xxx() variants. So, depending on your purpose, this experimental implementation may or may not help you. --- JINMEI, Tatuya Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
