[gentoo-user] Sync'ed my ~x86 system yesterday and now resolver stopped working

[Timur Aydin]

Hi,

I have synced my ~x86 system yesterday and after it completed, the 
resolver doesn't work for some programs anymore. For example, ping 
<hostname> says "unknown host name". It doesn't even contact the dns 
server, which is running on the same host. But dig <hostname> works 
fine. Also, using the IP address directly, I can access the internet.

I am suspecting that the new glibc 2.10 is causing this. Anybody else 
having this issue?
