Re: NM stopped using local caching nameserver?

[Derek Atkins <warlord MIT EDU>]

I tracked this down some..  It appears part of the issue is a
race condition between named and dbus.  The startup sequence
has named start first, and then dbus...  but then named doesn't
connect to dbus properly.  If I RESTART named then everything
appears to work okay.

I suspect the problem here is that named doesn't retry to connect
to dbus if it fails to connect on startup.

Would this be a named bug?
