Search Again: Re: OT: OS X Strange DNS Lookup Failures From: Nicholas Orr Date: Friday, November 29, 2002 Time: 11:57:42 pm Does this problem stem from the same area of code that is the single threaded DNR that people dislike as well? If so, is it part of darwin, or a part of the closed source area? If it's darwin, would someone who had written a new faster/better DNR be willing to submit their code back to Apple to include in darwin and kill two birds with one stone? I know that Glenn Anderson of EIMS fame has already written one. Just a lazy afternoon thought.
