It will reduce maintainance cost around resolver related routins. When I merged KAME effort around fixing DNS query order problem from NetBSD, I was forced to work with nsswitch -> host.conf issue. Your nsswith support in getaddrinfo.c is quite different from NetBSD's one. (maybe name6.c, too?) Why don't you simply bring the code from NetBSD? The origin of getadrinfo.c and name6.c is KAME, and basically these files are same between NetBSD and FreeBSD except some OS depend part such as reading host.conf. We should keep close these files to NetBSD as possible. -- Hajimu UMEMOTO @ Internet Mutual Aid Society Yokohama, Japan ume@mahoroba.org ume@bisd.hitachi.co.jp ume@FreeBSD.org http://www.imasy.org/~ume/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
