The patch does work for me, thanks.
I suspect a better fix, especially given the escaping problem you have
highlighted, would be just to pass through the DNS name to connect to.
For where 'apt-proxy' is a CNAME or are A/AAAA records, then probably just
returning 'apt-proxy' is the right thing to do. For SRV records, I think all
that needs to be done is to return the target.
Do you think this would be suitable?
Happy to put it together myself, but it would be great if Antonio Terceiro
could chip in.
Thanks
