The following reply was made to PR bin/156684; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Doug Barton <do...@dougbarton.us> To: bug-follo...@freebsd.org, ja...@puck.nether.net Cc: Subject: Re: bin/156684: getaddrinfo returns improper error Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:33:46 -0700
I hate to disagree with my esteemed colleague, :) however I think in the case where the name server does not return an error (such as servfail or nxdomain) the proper response for getaddrinfo() is EAI_NONAME. The thread at https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2011-April/083542.html has a good discussion about why.
