Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-11
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

when my DNS server is unreachable my system needs several minutes to
boot because of the default gethostbyname timeout of 5 seconds.
And when I specify two DNS server it always contacts the first and waits
for its timeout before asking server two.

This is very annoying. Why are some simple options like timeout and
retrans (e.g. Solaris) not implemented in resolv.conf?

thanks
Stef
