Oh, same domain name but different DNS on in- and outside. Nice to
configure that DNS.... (not me please ;-)

But back to the AFSDB question. With a setup like this, AFSDB should
work for you. I suppose you could attach a gdb to arlad and set at
breakpoint at the function that does the DNS lookup.

Hm. I saw crashes in DNS functions of libroken when the threading of
arla did not work well with the threading of the Linux distro. I found
out that Ubuntu liked default LWP and Gentoo likes --with-pthereads
better. I don't know why.

Harald.
