Re: resolv.conf "sortlist" option not supported

[J . S . Peatfield]

I could be wrong, but I understood that there was a string
suggestion in hosts-requirements that if you share a network
with the host you want to talk to then an interface on that
network will be used.

rfc-1123 6.1.3.4:

   When the host name-to-address function encounters a host
   with multiple addresses, it SHOULD rank or sort the
   addresses using knowledge of the immediately connected
   network number(s) and any other applicable performance or
   history information.

Ok, it is only a SHOULD not a MUST but clearly this is the
Right Thing.  Of course this isn't RH's fault if glibc does
the Wrong Thing (TM).
