Try installing your own copy of bind setup with no forwarders and set your resolv.conf to only use localhost. If that solves it then it would confirm my theory that this is caused by buggy DNS servers messing with glibc's new logic... Someone really needs to look into this in detail, but I don't know of anyone who can reproduce it at will. If you can do this (by editing your resolv.conf) then I think we can probably find it.. Jason
