Comment (by Dhalgren):
A correct patch will be only slightly larger than the existing patch.
Adding tuneable parameters is trivial, requires one line for each in or.h
and in config.c, and one expression to obtain the value.
The current patch discards successful DNS replies that arrive between 5
and 15 seconds and while the percentage of queries affected is small, the
behavior is incorrect. If an operator configures a single `named`
resolver, no retries whatsoever are attempted. 0.2.9 will be around for
two more years and a minor incremental effort towards correctness seems in
order.
My experience with open source is core developers generally feel compelled
to change everything contributed to "make it theirs," without involving
the contributor; has left me nonplussed.
