Depending on the flavor of the system and its configuration, adding lines to /etc/hosts can be effective for working around local or remote DNS problems. > Obviously if we're "lucky" and it happens again (with RPZ disabled or > otherwise) then I'll grab a core, as gdb and the debug symbols for our > binary are now installed. A local copy of gdb is not required to create a core dump, although I understand that some versions of gdb can be used. I use `kill -6` or another fatal signal. Some systems disable by default the creation of core files. This irritating, simplistic misconfiguration (that's only my view) is especially common in the Linux world. See https://www.google.com/search?q=create+core+file Gdb would have been handy for looking at named without creating a core file or disturbing the process by more than what it would see as a jump in time.
