Ok, this is now at least the third bug you've reported where you give us NO information. We can't solve problems if you don't give us information!
[quote]The ircd will quit resolving hostnames therefor screweing everything up.[/quote]
1.) Are you sure the hostname in question does resolve?
2.) What is your set::dns
3.) Are the nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf working? E.g., if you use nslookup to query the hostname from the first server listed in /etc/resolv.conf, does it work?

And by the way, I've never heard anyone report this before, so if people are experiencing this as often as you make it sound, I would assume someone would have told us by now.

{
        nameserver 127.0.0.1;
        timeout 2s;
        retries 2;dns
    };

and what happens is the server will fail to resolve hostnames and use ip's upon connection.

I have not been experiencing this problem before ... its now all of a sudden happening. I have restarted the server and i have just previously reinstalled it. (Yet to know if that fixed it)

Ok, well I asked you three questions, you answered 1 of them. And, not only that, your answer contains a bug. "retries 2;dns" that "dns" should not be there.

But anyway, please answer my other two questions
1.) Are you sure the hostname in question does resolve?
2.) Are the nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf working? E.g., if you use nslookup to query the hostname from the first server listed in /etc/resolv.conf, does it work?

1.) You still did not answer my other two questions
2.) Yes I know it's in the config file, I'm saying it should NOT be.

code it seems the entire nameserver area was screwed up. I have fixed it to the way it should be so i am guessing that is probly what it was. You can delete this bug report and i will get back up with if there are any furthur problems. Thank You

I've had that problem before but it was due to DDoS. I have not seen the IRCd just refuse to resolve hostnames (unless you have resolution disabled).
