Package: polipo
Version: 1.0.4-1
Severity: normal

Some sites I've tried visiting recently haven't worked, with Polipo
reporting, for example:

504 Host www.boston.com lookup failed: Timeout

I'm running pdnsd on localhost, and querying it for this domain comes
back immediately:

$ host www.boston.com localhost
www.boston.com          A       66.151.183.41

I've noticed the same pattern with photobucket.com. Today I noticed that
these IP addresses don't have PTR records, and I wondered: is Polipo
trying to reverse-resolve them for some reason, and reporting timeout
when that fails?
