However, it _always_ fails to resolve a name of http server. ALWAYS. If given the server's IP address, it works again. This is not new -- I've seen it for a while on 3.1 and 2.2.[78] machines, but was blaming it on some DNS glitching. >How-To-Repeat: # Install the socks5 port. nslookup www.yahoo.com .... works nslookup ftp.freebsd.org .... works /usr/local/bin/runsocks /usr/bin/fetch -p ftp://ftp.freebsd.ort/.message .... works /usr/local/bin/runsocks /usr/bin/fetch http://www.yahoo.com/ fetch: `www.yahoo.com': cannot resolve: Host name lookup failure >Fix: Use the ftp servers or the IP addresses. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
