There is in fact no machine called dbserver. It would, of course, be
nice to get a dnslookup error rather than just hang. But that is not
the way that the C-Grade code in operating systems works!
I'd have expected an nslookup to fail socket early...you must have an
entry in the hosts table or something.
Ant 1.7 also has a <reachable> test, which tries to ping the remote box.
If Socket could print some sort of message for timeout vs simply no port
listener that would be good, but I suspect that it cannot.
I'd have to look at the code. Even if thre is no explicit mention in the
return code, the fact that it took 30s to answer should tell the calling
thread that it is timeout related.
this is something that could be added in the future, at the -verbose
logging level.
Thanks for your reply, and sorry to bother you.
no, we like interesting bugs
