And generally these locations have neutered DNS already anyway, eg they only allow HTTP/HTTPS and generally only after authenticating (after being hijacked using DNS to their portal thingy). These locations (coffeeshops, hotels, airports, other generic hotspots etc etc) don't provide true internet anyway and are thus breaking already way too much protocol wise that there is nothing you can do about it. The only thing you can do in those locations is to VPN out if you want to resolve that problem. In the cases where DNS requests are not blocked (like in hotels and coffeeshops), you can setup pdns-recursor and use 127.0.0.1 in your resolv.conf -- [karmic regression] all network apps / browsers suffer from multi-second delays by default due to IPv6 DNS lookups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/417757 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
