The DNS resolver on my host is working just fine, and no, the name
cannot be resolved by nslookup for the very good reason that I
specifically chose a name with no records associated with it. (This is
for reasons described in an earlier post of mine--I'm connecting to
a server with a specific cert that is on an arbitrary IP address and
port that changes from time to time, and I'd like to authenticate the
server.)
Surely you aren't saying that a program crash and core dump is an
appropriate repsonse to a failed DNS lookup.
