Description of problem:
This is bug was already submitted but was closed with NOT A BUG result.
I think this is a BUG. Adding names and alias to /etc/hosts doesn't solve the
problem. The local domain is not appended to the hostname. AND THIS IS THE
STANDARD NAME RESOLUTION PROCEDURE.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to connect to a xyz.mydomain.* with short name xyz.
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  Slow name resolution. From 15 to 60 seconds.

Expected Results:  Fast name resolution.

Additional info:

telnet-0.17-20 binaries.

Try to be professional.

This is a glibc bug...
hints.ai_family = PF_UNSPEC;
getaddrinfo(hostp, portp, &hints, &res0);
with AF_INET this works without delays...

I am experiencing a similar problem with slow name resolution.  The system is
RedHat Linux 7.3.  Providing a fqdn results in instant name resolution, using
only a host without the domain portion takes upwards of 30 seconds.

Our RedHat Linux 7.2 systems are not experiencing this problem.

/etc/resolv.conf contains the appropriate entries for name servers and domain.
/etc/nsswitch.conf specifies hosts: dns files

Comment 3 Ulrich Drepper 2003-04-24 01:39:53 EDT

Try a recent release.  I don't think there are any such problems left.

Comment 4 Ulrich Drepper 2003-10-03 05:50:49 EDT

No reply in almost 6 months.  Closing it a fixed in the current code.

If there are applications showing this problem file bugs with the applications
since they are not using getaddrinfo correctly.
