>Release:        FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE i386
>Organization:
Virtual Estates, Inc.
>Environment:

	FETCH_CMD = /usr/local/bin/runsocks /usr/bin/fetch -p
	on my behind-the-firewall, private-IP machine

>Description:

	The setting works perfectly for ftp MASTER_SITES. 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.
