[Bug 306241] [NEW] Bad dns handling when server has both AAAA and CNAME

[Lionel Dricot]

Public bug reported:

Using Polipo + Privoxy on Intrepid as "howtoed" here :
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DnsmasqPolipoPrivoxy
But without dnsmasq because we already have an internal DNS server.

It appears that sometimes, polipo takes a very long time to reply to a
request. One example : go to google images (with a fresh polipo
installation) and search for whatever you want. It happens that
thumbnails will not load before one or two minutes

The polipo.log file tells you that :
Host tbn0.google.com has both AAAA and CNAME -- ignoring CNAME.

But instead of ignoring CNAME, it seems to have a timeout, which is really similar to this 3 years old bug :
