From d39f1a4b57f3fab3301c209837085f6ab914e5e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Ebner Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2025 13:05:20 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs: mention different name resolution for statically linked binary Add a note mentioning that the statically linked binary does not use the same mechanism for name resolution as the regular client, in particular that this does not support NSS. The statically linked binary cannot use the `getaddrinfo` based name resolution because of possible ABI incompatibility. It therefore is conditionally compiled and linked using the name resolution provided by hickory-resolver, part of hickory-dns [0].
