Summary0001003: HINFO fields prepended to resolved host name
DescriptionWhenever one of my users connects, his hostname is resolved as 'UNKNOWN.UNKNOWN.<various>.slip.uiuc.edu' where '<various>.slip.uiuc.edu' is the actual reverse resolution, with <various> replaced with whatever
particular line he happened to connect to, of course. Further investigation led me to the fact that in the forward resolution records for '<various>.slip.uiuc.edu' include an HINFO resource record with "UNKNOWN" "UNKNOWN" in the text space. The HINFO record appears before the A record, and this is significant; if the A record appears first, the resolution occurs normally.
Steps To ReproduceI changed one of my own DNS records so that the first resource record is the HINFO, followed by the A record. I made sure the DNS records for this host had not been previously cached. The two text fields in the HINFO record ended up prepended to the proper host name.
Additional InformationThe server is compiled with both SSL and IPv6 support. The server is linked against the system-supplied name service libraries.

got IPv6 enabled? [oh yes you do.. sorry I'm blind]
In either case, wether it's our or their fault.. this should be fixed in current CVS because I fixed a skipping-unknown-record-bug a week ago or something.
