/etc/resolv.conf and DNS error (http test)

[Dominique Frise <Dominique.Frise (at) unil.ch>]

Hi,

We have tried following settings in the Hobbit server's /etc/resolv.conf 
(Solaris 9)

domain example.com
nameserver 1.2.3.4
nameserver 1.2.3.5
options timeout:1
options retry:1


While the first and second nameserver are up and running we receive sometimes 
"DNS error" on http checks like http://www.example.com.

Assuming that the first nameserver is not responding within the timeout, the 
second should be queried by the Hobbit resolver and get the response.

Is there something that we are missing?
