Bug#42727: nscd: nscd doesn't respect /etc/resolv.conf changes

[Mario Holbe <Mario.Holbe@RZ.TU-Ilmenau.DE>]

Package: nscd
Version: 2.1.2-0pre5


Hi,

I think, nscd should respect changes of /etc/resolv.conf.
At the moment it doesn't.
This is a problem with dialup links for example.
I use nscd because the DNS cache - IMHO this makes sense
in case of low-bandwidth links.
Many ppp programs are modifying the /etc/resolv.conf
to enable Dynamic DNS via PPP.

At the moment my brute force solution is restarting the
nscd but this cannot be a real solution.

And btw... Solaris nscd provides an command line option
     -i cachename
               Invalidate the specified cache.
I guess, this might be a useful option for GNU nscd too.


Thanks and regards,
   Mario
