Afaik, ntpd behaves that way in case EAI_NONAME (authoritive answer that there is no such name) is returned by getaddrinfo(), not in case of something like EAI_FAIL or EAI_NODATA. I believe that EAI_NONAME is returned when the DNS returned NXDOMAIN. Kurt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
