Even keeping with BIND8, it is old. At least, it isn't thread-safe; this is too ugly for 5.*. Unlike IRS code (gethostby*()), its upgrading to thread safe version is conceptually easy. I've created and successfully tested patch to upgrade it to 8.3.4 version, losing only res_*update() and RES_INSECURE*; it was very simple, and a person more informed in its specifics including KAME hacks can do it better. (ftp://segfault.kiev.ua/pub/freebsd/newresolv for someone wanting to see it. I should repeast that this attempt may be too lame and forgetting some principal moments, but it was successfully tested on real load for a long time.) -netch- _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
