Hi All,
I've been working on integrating the full bind resolver into Cygwin and,
Is that different from what we already have in minres?
Yes. I'm taking a slightly different approach then Pierre. I believe
he is using bind8 sources, whilst I'm using the latest bind9 w/ FreeBSD
sources.
Actually minires was done from scratch.
My goal is to provide a single, uniform resolver across all platforms, with the source code as clean as possible of any kluges. I know that either people are going to call me crazy or flame me for what I'm saying, but, hey, it's just my opinion. Frankly, I'm sick of seeing one thing done 4 different ways because Microsoft can't get its act together and release a unified winsock3 for all versions of Windows[1].
That's the difference: minires doesn't know about winsock, and it can even avoid using cygwin sockets (0.98 on Win2000+).

Anyhow, I'd like to keep the /etc/resolv.conf as the central
configury point. If it doesn't exist, then I'll grab the "nameserver"
and "search" information from the registry.
Same order for minires, although my recommendation is to use
/etc/resolv.conf only if the Windows registry info is inadequate
for some strange reason.
Cheers, Nicholas
