I can confirm this with your reduced test case: python -c 'import DNS; print DNS.mxlookup(u"gmail.com")' Also in Sid/Lenny. It looks like there were buffer packing implications in the security fix that neither upstream nor myself appreciated when we wrote it. The security fix had two parts: source port randomization and transaction ID randomization. If instead of reverted to the package that has neither, you change 'self.tid' to '0' in line 199 of /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/DNS/Base.py you will work around this problem and still have source port randomization. I've contacted upstream and will get this sorted out.
