No help unfortunately. $ host -d6 cygwin.com Trying "cygwin.com" ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached > (strace can help as well, I think.) Posted at https://pastebin.com/XWwxJ41b. I'm not able to make much sense of it, except that on line 1339, I waited almost 5 seconds for sendmsg: 4964291 6958349 [isc-worker0000] host 20999 cygwin_sendmsg: 28 = sendmsg(20, 0x7FFDFC830, 0x0) Thanks for taking a look. I'm looking at other options in resolv.conf, but haven't found anything useful. I can't find any documention of the osquery option. This answer[1] says "res_init() uses the Windows resolver if either /etc/resolv.conf does not exist, or /etc/resolv.conf contains options osquery." Doesn't help in this case though.
