Yes, absolutly. I should not use "DNS" term but Network Hosts Names 
service...

Both of them may failing, but I didn't investigate that far.
What I mean is that I fix *only* the h_errno crashing bug in libnet.so.
But the fact remains that hosts names lookups failed on second try, 
hence the h_errno value set who previoulsy crash but now returns the 
error up to client.
DNS or local /etc/hosts-based, I can't tell, it's still yet to 
discover.

Of course.
