I'm interested in this, too. Could you consider that patch for next upload?
You want each program statting /etc/resolv.conf all the time?
Why not? The amount of data is very small, and would be cached by the kernel.
Besides, the stats only would happen when attempting to resolve a hostname
(which has a much higher cost in system resources then a simple stat). I don't
think the overhead would be significant.
FWIW, we did this in Ubuntu for Dapper and it works very well. I have a
quilt file for 2.3/2.4 that I could put in if everyone agrees.
