DNS client intermittently ignores server's response
I'm installing 2 Solaris 11 systems in 2 different locations (but same vlan).
On both of these, and on no other system in our datacenters, I'm seeing intermittent name lookup failures.
Snooping a successful lookup on the DNS client, I see the request and the response, end of story.
