[omniORB] Source of getaddrinfo delay

Hi
what kind of unix are you using. More importantly what does your DNS
configuration look like (e.g. /etc/resolv.conf). It is also important to
know if the DNS server configured (if any, some unices try localhost
otherwise) is reachable or not. It would be also interesting to know
what kind of DNS server you're contacting. Depending on how the server
reacts having long timeouts are possible. A possible scenario is a dns
cache that is configured to resolve only to specific client IP
addresses, so your requests will be silently dropped (in the end it's
UDP), this is not uncommon and I think it is in fact not omniORB related
in any way (it has always been that way). I would suggest you try to
reproduce your issues using a small C program or e.g. the host command
on the command line and try to fix your host configuration. If you're
only using a known subset of hostnames you might want to filter within
your application.
If you cannot fix your overall DNS setup, you can also set a timeout and
limit the number of attempts in /etc/resolv.conf and/or
/etc/nsswitch.conf (depending on your OS, use man resolv.conf / man
nsswitch.conf).
Example entry in resolv.conf for FreeBSD limiting timeout to 3 seconds
and 5 attempts (the default values are 5 second timeout * 30, so this
means a maximum retry period of 150 seconds):
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 10.0.0.1
options timeout:3 attempts:5
You don't want to tune this too heavily, because you don't want to lose
queries + the problem you're heaving shouldn't happen in a sane DNS
environment anyway.
