Originally, this error appeared to be a bad interaction between
sendmail and bind when the domain name part of an address is a CNAME;
those queries take another iteration to resolve; they take longer, and
time out more often. But lately I've seen this on addresses where the
domain name is NOT a CNAME.

I've taken a cursory glance at the C code, and it is not apparent
where a fix can be made that will turn a gethostbyname timeout into a
temporary error, rather than a fatal one. And my time is occupied with
more pressing fires to fight.

Has anyone else grappled with this and won? (i.e. is there a patch I
can have from ya?) I'll trade you a set of sendmail configs...

We're running 5.61 sendmail with bind 4.8.1 on a DEC VAX-8650 with
vanilla 4.3 BSD UNIX.
