Re: [Straw-devel] straw hostname lookup failures

[Stephen Lau]

Hrm...well, I don't have an /etc/resolv.conf since all internal
lookups use NIS, and all external lookups go through the proxy.  Could
this be the problem?  if there is a proxy enabled, I would think Straw
should redirect all name lookups through that rather than tryin to do
them by itself.

I've tried this with both ADNS installed, and without ADNS - and I
have the same problem.

cheers,
steve
