Subject: [PATCH 1/1] improve DNS resolution logic for parallel queries
From: Lance Yang <ioworker0@...il.com>
musl’s resolver queries some configured nameservers in parallel and accepts
the first response. However, if the first response's RCODE indicates
NXDOMAIN, the resolver terminates the resolution process too early,
potentially missing valid responses from other nameservers.
There is a DNS issue that is reproducible under specific conditions. For
instance, it occurs when one of the nameservers does not have the domain
name and responds first. Even worse, if this nameserver consistently
responds the fastest, the domain name will never be resolved successfully.
This commit introduces a 'send_tracker' counter to track the number of
queries sent. The resolver now continues waiting for responses from other
nameservers unless only one query was sent, ensuring more robust DNS
resolution.
