[tor-relays] Re: name resolution with libc

As far as I remember properly, the CTor implementation does not use libc for resolving names, but rather libevent, in order to resolve them asynchronously.

There were some caveats wrt to resolvers outlined in the libevent documentation, maybe it is worth looking into that?

Thanks for the clarification. How does libevent handle that? Does it only read /etc/resolv.conf at the start? Does it care about nsswitch.conf, e.g. also the nscd cache? -- Gruß Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 1768813873muell@cartoonies.org
