Bug #2808 for Net-DNS:

Mon Jun 16 20:10:38 2003 Guest - Ticket created

send_udp method in Net::DNS::Resolver.pm: If $sock->send() fails for *all* of the nameservers (e.g. no route to host because the network is down), then errorstring is set to 'query timed out'. Setting it to 'all nameservers failed' would be less misleading. Even better, $! could be in there somwhere. $Net::DNS::VERSION == 0.38 Many thanks for this module, we appreciate your efforts.

Good idea. I'll look into it. Show quoted text

This is against the design of the module. Your resolver object should be self contained, with all the information you need. -- Chris Reinhardt ctriv@dyndns.org Systems Architect Dynamic DNS Network Services http://www.dyndns.org/
