I believe this has been fixed. Initially I had to re-build glibc to get
the sortlist options to work, but now, even without specifying a sortlist
in /etc/resolv.conf, it works.
I'm using RedHat 6.2 which uses glibc 2.1.3.
As long as your nameservers shares a network with the client, it does
appear to sort correctly now.
