That is too much for htdig. Interesting thing.
That strikes me as incorrect behaviour from the gethostbyname() function on your system. If I'm not mistaken, it should try all DNS servers listed in resolv.conf until it finds one that works, and only return a failure if all DNS servers fail. The onus shouldn't be on the application program to repeatedly call gethostbyname() until it's gone through all DNS servers, should it? What system are you running? -- Gilles R.
