Could you repeat the experiment after creating (touching) /etc/resolv.conf and report if you can get an srv record correctly? [When that file exists, minires queries a DNS server directly. When it doesn't, minires queries the local Windows cache. Depending on the type, Windows returns either the original wireline data or structured data, which must then be translated back into wireline format :( This step must be currently mishandled.] Pierre -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
