Doc Text:
Due to a bug in its name canonicalization mechanism, the Resolv DNS resolver was not able to perform simple lookup operations when the value of the "ndots" option in the resolv.conf file was greater than 1. This could lead to a variety of failures in users' configuration management system, such as the Puppet management tool, and in their provisioning system. This update fixes the canonicalization, which allows Resolv to perform lookups correctly and prevents the described problems.
