 The error from FIONREAD is not because of dns not being present,
 it is because ipfilter in the kernel is not yet ready. this suggests
 that there is a race between the ipmon service starting and ipfilter
 in the kernel being enabled - is ipfilter enabled in rc.conf, for
 example?
 personally, i cannot reproduce this so i'm going to close it.
