well.. i'm not sure what causes this, but spamd just decides to stop doing dns

couldnt find any good answer for it.

any clue as to why SA would thing 'net' tests were not available? spamd never
runs with -L, so net tests should always run assuming working DNS.
if is_dns_available() fails, $IS_DNS_AVAILABLE becomes 0, and at the top of
is_dns_available(), it automatically returns 0 in the future after a single failure.
return $IS_DNS_AVAILABLE if (defined $IS_DNS_AVAILABLE);
i know i can set "dns_available yes" in local.cf to avoid this issue, but there
should be a dns check retry interval, if dns_available is set to 'test'
i will attach a patch that will do this.. it adds a config option of
'dns_test_interval' with a default setting of 600 seconds. below you see i was
testing with a 30 second timeout just to prove it works.
