| Subject: | Fails Tests v4-wnew if wildcard DNS is in use |
The test below fails for v4-wnew.t (and fails for numerous CPAN testers)
if a domain has wildcard DNS. For example *.pccc.com is defined but
*.peregrinehw.com. Changing /etc/resolve.conf to search peregrinehw.com
will work but pccc.com (the default) does not work.
This is because default.neveranydomainlikethis.pccc.com does exist as a
CNAME for pccc.com:
nslookup default.neveranydomainlikethis.pccc.com
Server: 63.218.83.19
Address: 63.218.83.19#53
default.neveranydomainlikethis.pccc.com canonical name = pccc.com.
Name: pccc.com
Address: 63.216.184.9
I believe this identifies the test as needing more work rather than a bug.
