I've upgraded the Debian box on my desk to hamm, via
dists/frozen/*. I'm finding that the libc6 resolver routines
(mis)behave differently than expected. Basically, gethostbyname(3)
doesn't seem to want to sort IP addresses.
The libc6 resolver routines are apparently controlled by
/etc/resolv.conf. There's a "sortlist" directive according to the
man page, but I can't seem to get it to do anything. This is a bit
annoying when you've got multi-homed NFS servers around and depend on
IP sorting to get the closest interface...
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...
