The only time I see references to nscd is in horrible confusing bugs. If they ignore the DNS TTL and set it to 1 hour I can see why. I sure hope that GIO hasn't copied that stupid idea. A more probable GIO user bug is doing the resolve and saving the address object for later use, never considering that the IP will be different next time. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
