Oh, brother! This is RICH!
It appears this text in question actually originates with the
defining RFCs!!!
/usr/src/contrib/bind9/doc/rfc/rfc2133.txt: EAI_NONAME hostname nor servname provided, or not known
/usr/src/contrib/bind9/doc/rfc/rfc2553.txt: EAI_NONAME nodename nor servname provided, or not known
/usr/src/contrib/bind9/lib/bind/include/netdb.h:#define EAI_NONAME 8 /* hostname nor servname provided, or not known */
/usr/src/contrib/bind9/lib/bind/irs/getaddrinfo.c: "hostname nor servname provided, or not known", /* EAI_NONAME */
/usr/src/contrib/bind9/lib/lwres/include/lwres/netdb.h.in:#define EAI_NONAME 8 /* hostname nor servname provided, or not known */
/usr/src/contrib/bind9/lib/lwres/gai_strerror.c: "hostname nor servname provided, or not known",
So - whoever's "fault" this is - was just making BIND compliant with
the documentation....
Can't win for loosing some days!
