If you set RES_OPTIONS=debug in your environment, you can see what operations are being performed by the resolver library. In the case that hangs I get : ;; QUESTIONS: ;; ns1.netchicago.net, type = A, class = IN ;; ANSWERS: ns1.netchicago.net. 3398 IN A 205.164.13.70 ;; res_mkquery(0, 70.13.164.205.in-addr.arpa, 1, 12) timeout (5 secs) timeout (10 secs) timeout (20 secs) timeout (40 secs) So, for me, it is hanging doing the reverse lookup. Check that you get the same results. 13.164.205.in-addr.arpa is served by KITTEN.MCS.COM and CEREBUS.MCS.COM. Neither of these want to tell me who 70.13.164.in-addr.arpa is. Verify that the in-addr entries been set up/delegated correctly.
