Is there any hope of getting xymon to compile against the system provided c-ares, or is xymon always going to bundle it? Just seems like it would be more efficient to use the system-provided c-ares if it's there...
It's funny you bring this up right now. I am currently struggling with my pre-production xymon instance. The only way I seem able to get it to behave is to start xymonnet with --no-ares. When using c-ares, I routinely get hundreds of test failures due to inability to resolve names.
How is the c-ares library supposed to be superior to my system's built-in resolver functions?
