Howdy, According to the manpage for resolv.conf, it is read only once when the program is invoked: The resolver configuration file contains information that is read by the resolver routines the first time they are invoked by a process. Since the base system is retrieved within dbootstrap, if the nameserver file is incorrect the first time it is read it will never be reloaded, even if the network information is reconfigured. I tested that calling res_init(3) after changing the resolv.conf file will cause it to be reloaded, so I believe that the following patch will fix this bug.
