Huh, I noticed this and put the workaround in my config but I didn't realise it counted as a bug. Anyway, there's a related issue, RFC 3484 address sorting. I believe glibc used to derandomize addresses in getaddrinfo(), but it seems to have stopped doing so. (However I can't find a changelog item saying so...) Windows had a similar issue (I think it was fixed in Windows 7?): https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/968920/windows-vista-and-windows-server-2008-dns-clients-do-not-honor-dns-rou I never understood how RFC 3484 sorting could possibly make sense when there's no way for an edge device (or even an expert sysadmin) to know anything meaningful about how IP addresses relate to network topology.
