At this time, it is not possible to implement the recommended

workarounds are available:
1. Install a local BIND 9 resolver on the host, possibly in
forward-only mode.
Uh .. is there any documentation on how to do that ? Although I run a
BIND 9 nameserver I don't know how to extract the BIND 9 resolver from
such a system (for use on other systems) - and there doesn't seem to be
any actual stand-alone package for such a thing.
Also, which Debian systems would otherwise use the libc stub resolver ?
All systems which *don't* have BIND installed ?
Cluebats welcome.
