As I have already wrote it earlier, with three different DNS in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/conf.d/net files, the host utility correctly reported IP address of a site (eg, www.google.com) but added the following message: ;; Warning: query response not set With only the first (my local DNS) in /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/conf.d/net files, the output of the host utility was as follows: # host www.google.com www.google.com has address 74.125.232.52 www.google.com has address 74.125.232.48 www.google.com has address 74.125.232.49 www.google.com has address 74.125.232.50 www.google.com has address 74.125.232.51 ;; Warning: query response not set ;; Warning: query response not set Host www.google.com not found: 4(NOTIMP) In both cases above no internet application (eg, links or firefox) could convert site names to IP adresses and only after deleting the first (local) DNS from /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/conf.d/net files, internet applications started to work as expected (and the host utility, in this case, returned no error or warning message) That have proved to myself that "The response of the first router contained an error that prevented all the other applications to use it, the system knew about it (for example from the output of the host utility) but, nevertheless, did not proceeded with the next router listed in resolv.conf [or /etc/conf.d/net].

Correct. And because that we endorse it. Look what happened with the logind. They made it clear from the start that logind is not going to work for non-systemd and that Ubuntu is doing something utter crazy. We were going to ride with that horse at the expense of Ubuntu folks for a while, but dropped the effort as futile. Now Ubuntu is stuck at logind-204 and it's unclear what will they do next. Don't try to twist it into anything it's not, it's not comparable w/ udev.

A Gentoo system does NOT have to have a device manager to function, you can accomplish that easily with static device nodes. What is in @system is virtual/dev-manager which has this RDEPEND: RDEPEND="|| ( virtual/udev sys-apps/busybox[mdev] sys-fs/devfsd sys-fs/static-dev sys-freebsd/freebsd-sbin )" So you are free to install any of those methods you choose and thereby have working device nodes. To back up what Samuli said, if you want to GUARANTEE a certain device manager then you need to put it in @world, just like you already do for all the other packages you have. udev is in no way special in this regard. > it > would make more sense to add them there - except @system is defined not > by a file but by the profile, and so would require a USE flag to define > this, but if I recall, adding a USE flag for this was decided against > (why I don't know)... > -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Ok, I'm getting there... I just confirmed that while I do have sys-fs/udev in world, but I *do* have virtual/udev. So, based on what Samuli said about sys-fs/udev being the gentoo default (where is this documented by the way?), seems the simplest thing to do is add sys-fs/eudev to @world, but is this really the most appropriate 'gentoo way'? Or, maybe just remove virtual/udev from @world? Or both (add sys-fs/eudev, remove virtual/udev)? Actually, since udev/eudev are more appropriately @system packages, it would make more sense to add them there - except @system is defined not by a file but by the profile, and so would require a USE flag to define this, but if I recall, adding a USE flag for this was decided against (why I don't know)...

Damn, you would think "ln -s ${TARGET} ${NEWFILE}" would be easily remembered as
"link to target via new file", but no, I keep forgetting :( .
[Perhaps because the first (wrong) mnemonic I usually think of is "link target
to new file", which is backwards, because you're linking the new file to the
target. Maybe I've been confusing myself that way ;) .]

But, nevertheless, I think that something is fundamentally > wrong with this. What kind of error did you get? If complete garbage came back, I'm not sure what the resolver does with that (oddly enough, I never tested that) The more usual case is you get a proper DNS result of NXDOMAIN which indicates the query is valid, but the entry is not in DNS. It's pointless trying another cache as per DNS, they should all then return that result. This is why the router did not try the other entries in resolv.conf - that usually only happens when a cache does not respond. So the behaviour you saw is probably correct albeit not the behaviour you wanted. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Before that, I strongly believed that, if I listed 3 different routers in my resolv.conf, the system should proceed with the next router if something is wrong with the previous one, but unfortunately it did not.
