Yes, I thought so too, but the more important issue was why it was failing.

ok

No I'm not that good, but I would be happy to help out and learn. I thought of switching the local resolver to bind and do query logging, to see what query it sends, but to debug the code is obviously better... Can you send me a diff with some debug code + what gdb command I should run? and/or any helpful reference to read?

Sure. I'll try to do so later today.
