If IPSEC takes a long time to resolve, and we don't block, the connect() can hard fail (we will just keep dropping the outgoing SYN packet send attempts, eventually hitting the retry limit) in cases where if we did block it would not fail (because we wouldn't send the first SYN until IPSEC resolved). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
