The policy override takes the form of a configurable table that specifies precedence values and preferred source prefixes for destination prefixes. " Right now, getaddrinfo is not configurable. The default policy table has to be used. It would be great if this could be configured to allow for strange network configurations such as giving preference to a particular host for a set of non-sequential class C subnets. -- Summary: Policy override in getaddrinfo Product: glibc Version: 2.3.4 Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P3 Component: libc AssignedTo: gotom at debian dot or dot jp ReportedBy: stroumf37 at yahoo dot ca CC: glibc-bugs at sources dot redhat dot com http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=655 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
