When I do ssh google.com the process hangs until I kill it, but it does |
| 30 |
find the right IP address. Along the way it checks /etc/gai.conf, which |
| 31 |
is installed by glibc and is used by the getaddrinfo(3) system call. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
My gai.conf has only three uncommented lines: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
scopev4 ::ffff:169.254.0.0/112 2 |
| 36 |
scopev4 ::ffff:127.0.0.0/104 2 |
| 37 |
scopev4 ::ffff:0.0.0.0/96 14 |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Of course, lots of other files are consulted, as already mentioned in |
| 40 |
this thread. I mention gai.conf only because I'd never heard of it |
| 41 |
until I ran strace on ssh just now. |
