 | >Description:
 | I've seen resolve_test fail once before on FreeBSD CURRENT and 10-STABLE with the following error (from kyua report-html):
 | 
 | <h2>Standard error</h2>
 | 
 | <pre>h_resolv: Error: host centaurus.4web.cz ask 2 got 1
 | 
 | </pre>
 | 
 | I hit it once before in the past in 11/07/2014, and hit it today with the same host and output.
 
 It means that getaddrinfo() failed once to resolve that host.
 The test picks hosts to resolve from a host list randomly, so it
 might try the same host more than once. We can make print more information
 (keep the error return from getaddrinfo()), but it is not worth it. Perhaps
 you have a flakey internet connection?
