The following reply was made to PR ports/41209; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Andriy Gapon <agapon@cv-nj.com> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, sobomax@freebsd.org Cc: Subject: Re: ports/41209: www/mozilla browser serializes DNS lookups Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2003 02:03:07 -0400 I agree that this PR should be closed, there is not much that can be done with respect to this. Hopefully we will have thread-safe gethostbyXXX() in 5.x someday, but 4.x is hopeless - gethostbyXXX() are not thread-safe, there are no gethostbyXXX_r() and getaddrinfo() is serialized internally, so much for parallel DNS lookups. -- Andriy Gapon
