Re: [Straw-devel] straw hostname lookup failures

[Jeremy Jongsma]

I had that too... turns out the problem was in the tmdns package that 
was included in my Mandrake 9.2 installation.  Since I removed tmdns it 
works fine.

The problem was that ADNS didn't try the next DNS server in resolv.conf 
if the first one failed, and tmdns had added a bogus entry (127.0.0.1) 
as the first line in my resolv.conf.
