Yes I think so. I also had the same problem in Debian Current. I do not have the problem with Fedora or SuSE. It seems to be a timing issue. The failure to resolve the name comes back rather quickly, even though the connection is through a 3Kbps internet connection through a 100Mbps Lan via a Netgear or Linksys router. It behaves like it is using the gateway address instead of the addresses in resolve.conf as the primary DNS. Sometimes, when the connections of all the devices involved are fresh (just turned on), and there is no other traffic, then a browser can be opened or the update service can be run, and the name resolution works as it should. Turn off just the Linux box and then restart it and it will no longer be able to resolve. Any other devices attached to the same network will have no difficulty resolving hosts.
I can run these versions in a VM with NAT and Bridged Network connections and see if the error is repeatable that way. Is there a setting somewhere for name resolution timeout? Is it possible that the timeout is never triggered because the initial responce from the gateway stops the DNS seek-next routine? It behaves as though it doesn't even try to use the listed servers in resolv.conf. Also, In one case, I was able to get it working, or so I thought, with the addition of IP addresses in place of search domain names. I have also observed missing DNS info when DHCP is used, the primary DNS then being replaced with the gateway address. This is also observable in Windoze with some routers not passing their WAN side DNS to the DHCP server service on the LAN side. The effect is the same. The above problems occur even when the DNS info is set manually either by the GUI config or a direct editing of resolv.conf. Andrew Ash wrote: > Thanks for the bug report.
