I posted the following on emulation and got no response, so I maybe I'll have better luck on -current: --------------------------------------------------------------- When running the Linux RealPlayer 5.0b2, I am seeing some strange problems with DNS. If I try to access a RealMedia URL containing a hostname that needs to be resolved, it will invariably fail in an odd way: With tcpdump, I can see a query to the nameserver, then an answer from the nameserver, but the RealPlayer continues to query as if it didn't get an answer until it finally times out, like so: <Attempt to open pnm://video.real.com/welcome.rm> 17:45:33.199031 208.133.153.54.1335 > 206.25.246.5.domain: 19488+ A? video.real.com. (32) 17:45:33.500296 206.25.246.5.domain > 208.133.153.54.1335: 19488 1/0/0 (48) 17:45:38.230538 208.133.153.54.1336 > 206.25.246.3.domain: 19488+ A? video.real.com. (32) 17:45:43.240285 208.133.153.54.1337 > 206.25.246.5.domain: 19488+ A? video.real.com. (32) 17:45:43.420237 206.25.246.5.domain > 208.133.153.54.1337: 19488 1/0/0 (48) 17:45:48.260307 208.133.153.54.1338 > 206.25.246.3.domain: 19488+ A? video.real.com. (32) 17:45:48.490228 206.25.246.3.domain > 208.133.153.54.1338: 19488 1/0/0 (48) 17:45:53.280388 208.133.153.54.1339 > 206.25.246.5.domain: 19488+ A? video.real.com. (32) 17:45:53.460396 206.25.246.5.domain > 208.133.153.54.1339: 19488 1/0/0 (48) If I substitute the actual IP address in the above URL, it will work just fine. What am I missing here? Is ther something I need to set up in addition to the files below? Here are the relevant files from /compat/linux/etc: ------------------------------ /compat/linux/etc/resolv.conf: ------------------------------ domain scsn.net nameserver 206.25.246.5 nameserver 206.25.246.3 ---------------------------- /compat/linux/etc/host.conf: ----------------------------- order hosts, bind multi on -------------------------------- /compat/linux/etc/nsswitch.conf: -------------------------------- # # /etc/nsswitch.conf # # An example Name Service Switch config file. This file should be # sorted with the most-used services at the beginning. # # The entry '[NOTFOUND=return]' means that the search for an # entry should stop if the search in the previous entry turned # up nothing. Note that if the search failed due to some other reason # (like no NIS server responding) then the search continues with the # next entry. # # Legal entries are: # # nisplus or nis+ Use NIS+ (NIS version 3) # nis or yp Use NIS (NIS version 2), also called YP # dns Use DNS (Domain Name Service) # files Use the local files # [NOTFOUND=return] Stop searching if not found so far # passwd: files nisplus nis shadow: files nisplus nis group: files nisplus nis hosts: files nisplus nis dns services: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files networks: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files protocols: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files rpc: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files ethers: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files netmasks: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files netgroup: nisplus publickey: nisplus automount: files nisplus aliases: files nisplus
