We cannot simply invent this because at least I don't understand the code completely. Just a brief look already showed a problem. The RES_IGNTC flag is used in the bind 8 code internally (res_sendsigned.c). It is obviously not meant to be set by the user. Probably this is correct for the rest as well. I'll compare the res_init code in glibc and in bind 8 and make whatever changes this suggests. But simply extending the option format is not correct. -- ---------------. drepper at gnu.org ,-. 1325 Chesapeake Terrace Ulrich Drepper \ ,-------------------' \ Sunnyvale, CA 94089 USA Cygnus Solutions `--' drepper at cygnus.com `------------------------
