Yes, I'm using dnscache. Switching to an ISP's nameserver or switching to
BIND are non-options. So what is broken now that is causing the resolver to
lose when using dnscache? I realize that the majority of NetBSD users I've
ever spoken to hate DJBware in any form, but some don't, and making the
system incompatible with it is a very bad thing to do. I assume it's
unintentional, but it needs fixing. I don't want to run on a september 19th
userland forever (and this also means I cannot update my netbsd-1-6 machine,
since the breakage has evidently made it onto that branch as well.)
