Bug ID: 19570
Summary: Implement random DNS server selection in the stub
resolver
Product: glibc
Version: 2.24
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: network
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: fweimer at redhat dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Flags: security-
To spread DNS query load with many short-lived processes, it is sensible to
select a random server for queries. With short-lived processes, RES_ROTATE
does not always help to spread load because the name server order is still
deterministic.
