What steps will reproduce the problem?
If possible, include a link to a program on play.golang.org.
1. Disable access to the Internet.
2. Run http://play.golang.org/p/WtWXjbVc7K
3. Enable access to the Internet.

What is the expected output?
A couple of "no such host" errors, and eventually the net.LookupHost should
complete successfully (and thus output the list of addresses) since it now has access to
the Internet.

Thanks for reporting this issue. Could you confirm if the problem exists _before_ rev
e255db359405.

Hi Dave.
The same problem does exist prior to rev e255db359405. I reverted to rev
52d53d0e177e561b5fe7847b97f6e7fe0380745e, but the same behavior was still present.
Cheers /u

Comment 3:

should be a problem of libc resolver.
i can't reproduce the problem on Darwin, and both Darwin and Linux are using the same
getaddrinfo library function to resolve hostnames.

Works here as expected on debian 7.1 and ubuntu 13.04, though on ubuntu is
the err message slightly wrong:

Comment 5:

one way to diagnose this problem is to use ltrace(1):
wget http://play.golang.org/p/WtWXjbVc7K.go
go build WtWXjbVc7K.go
ltrace ./WtWXjbVc7K
the result will at least show the return value of getaddrinfo(3).
if it constantly returns -2 (EAI_NONAME), then it's not Go's problem,
and you should check your system's gai settings and DNS caches.

Status changed to WaitingForReply.

Comment 6 by capnm9:

FYI #4 is an ubuntu bug:
getaddrinfo("google.com", NULL, 0xc21002e4e0, 0xc2100000d8)                             
          = -11

Comment 7:

Thank you minux for the information. The program did return -2 constantly. Killing the
DNS daemon and restarting it resolved the issue:
nscd -K
nscd
You can mark this as closed for the time being.

Comment 8:

no problem.
btw, i think it might be a bug of nscd. you probably should check your distribution's
bug tracker.

Status changed to Retracted.
