This depends on the C library you are using. Normal resolution should be guided by entries from /etc/host.conf, but some libraries do not honor this file. Have you tried to set the contents of this file to "order hosts" and nothing else (especially no ", bind")? This should tell the resolver to just look in /etc/hosts and do not contact the DNS system (hence it's historical name "bind"). BTW: Setting /etc/host.conf to only "order hosts" is an old trick to speed up address lookup in small and statical networks by a significant amount of time (by eliminating unnecessary resolver lookup times). -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
