Hi, Due to Jan Van Boghout's recent comment on Mac OS X recent report in which he stated that the link from /etc/resolv.conf to /var/run/resolv.conf was missing and that we should change PATH_RESOLV_CONF value to the latter.
I've been googling a bit around just to discover that network configuration in recent versions of MAC OS X seems to be drifting from classical unix-like approaches based on classical unix-like configuration files to new Mac OS X specific configuration *.plist files managed by commands such as 'networksetup' for which of course c-ares knows nothing about. I have been unable to locate a valid source of information for the new files, its format and relationship with the old ones, But it seems that no matter what you have in /etc/resolv or /var/run/resolv.conf if you happen to have used 'networksetup' to define other nameservers these ones will be the ones actually used by some parts of the system. If someone has a good interest in making c-ares work nicely on Mac OS X we will need docs or pointers to them on how things now work on Mac OS X. Patches are also welcomed of course. Just a heads up, -- -=[Yang]=-
