Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2.ds1-11 Severity: wishlist Hi,
when my DNS server is unreachable my system needs several minutes to boot because of the default gethostbyname timeout of 5 seconds. And when I specify two DNS server it always contacts the first and waits for its timeout before asking server two. This is very annoying. Why are some simple options like timeout and retrans (e.g. Solaris) not implemented in resolv.conf? thanks Stef -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.5-1-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=de_DE Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libdb1-compat 2.1.3-7 The Berkeley database routines [gl -- no debconf information
