++.BR single-request-reopen " (since glibc 2.9)"
++The resolver uses the same socket for the A and AAAA requests.  Some hardware
++mistakenly only sends back one reply.  When that happens the client sytem will
++sit and wait for the second reply.  Turning this option on changes this behavior
++so that if two requests from the same port are not handled correctly it will
++close the  socket and open a new one before sending the second request.
