They are off by default. You have to turn them on by hand in
/etc/resolv.conf or via an environment variable. They are a few
sites on the Internet which rerquires them. I'd like to be able
to do
# RES_OPTS=insecure2 foobar
What is the problem with that? Are you suggesting we should check
# rm -rf /dev
now?
