BTW, maybe make TEST_VERBOSE=1 test should do a perl -V at the
beginning.

Thanks Sidney. Both possibilities might apply (behind firewall and/or old
DNS
module). I did try 'hostname ....' on a few of hose reverse lookup ip's, and
that went fine (same as you indicate), so there must be something else the
test is trying.

Still, it would seem important that make test works in most settings,
including firewalls, and if there is a version dependecny on DNS that
should be noted as well.

Those dns tests fail for me when I try to run them behind the firewall at
work. I haven't looked into the details of what might be blocked -- I am
able to do ordinary DNS lookups through outside nameservers using, for
example, nslookup, but these tests do something that the firewall blocks.

On the other hand the failure looked the same when I broke Net::DNS when I
was working at on it, so I am not saying that there is no bug in your
case, only that you should check for a firewall problem.
