Following on from some experience with DNS misbehaviour on an old syslogd instance, I was forced to add the ability to force a re-read of resolv.conf upon SIGHUP. This allowed me to change the DNS server that a given central syslog server interrogated without requiring a complete restart of the daemon - which would otherwise have potentially lost messages.
Without this tweak, a given process effectively "caches forever" the contents of resolv.conf during the first call to gethostbyaddr().
I added this change, and commited to CVS. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
