Howdy,

With -current built from sources updated at around 8pm PST, I can't
resolve hosts on the command line if /etc/resolv.conf points to a name
server running on the local host. The local name server itself is
working fine, and I can reach any host in /etc/hosts as well.

ktrace /sbin/ping hub.freebsd.org
^C

kdump
   651 ktrace   RET   ktrace 0
   651 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xbfbffb03,0xbfbff9e4,0xbfbff9f0)
   651 ktrace   NAMI  "/sbin/ping"

/etc/nsswitch.conf is unchanged, and contains only:
hosts: files dns 

It doesn't matter if /etc/resolv.conf points to 127.0.0.1, or the IP of
the box. As soon as I point /etc/resolv.conf at a name server on another
host, it works.

My -current system from last weekend worked just fine. 

Doug
