I intended to inquire about this: I wasn't sure if there were many FreeBSDisms in the resolver, and because I have a healthy fear of breaking the resolver, I tried not to change its behavior significantly. Now that I understand the source of getadrinfo.c and name6.c, I will indeed sync them with NetBSD inasmuch as is possible.
