Then it's + wrong to use the DHCPNAMESERVER setting in registry. + + In the case of no global DHCP-assigned or fixed servers, but DNS server(s) + per adapter, one has to query the adapter branches. But how can c-ares know + which adapter is valid for use? AFAICS it can't. There could be one adapter + that is down (e.g. a VPN adapter). + + So it's better to leave this to the IP Helper API (iphlapi) available in + Win-98/2000 and later. My patch falls-back to the old way if not available. + * June 8 - James Bursa fixed an init issue for RISC OS. |
