I find this very confusing. You've got a global named "avoid_dns", which you turn off if you have the "-D" option. And if it's set, you do a dns lookup: + if (avoid_dns) { ... + do_dns_lookup = 1; /* IPv4 */ At the very least I would call it something like "do_ptr_lookup" and invert its meaning. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
