Hi Erik

I have corrected a bug in uClibc/libc/inet/resolv.c in function
__dns_lookup(). Have attaced a txt file with my diffs regarding to
uClibc 0.9.26.

If two nameservers are included in /etc/resolv.conf and the first one is
wrong and the secondary is correct the algorithm never
looked up the secondary one. Please review my diff and feel free to
submit the patch onto your CVS.

If reading manual page resolv.conf(5) under nameserver and how the
algorithm should work the previous dns_lookup did not fully followed
that.

Regards
