NS Lookup Failed Question
Should I be concerned with the following results from a --lint?
-----
debug: is Net::DNS::Resolver available? yes
debug: Net::DNS version: 0.48
debug: trying (3) sourceforge.net...
debug: looking up NS for 'sourceforge.net'
debug: NS lookup of sourceforge.net failed horribly => Perhaps your resolv.conf isn't pointing at a valid server?
debug: All NS queries failed => DNS unavailable (set dns_available to override)
debug: is DNS available? 0
-----
Thanks,
Clay

To be clear not having a /etc/resolv.conf file is definitely a problem
and will prevent dns from working correctly.

And that doesn't get you in the mood to provide more information?

If your /etc/resolv.conf is pointing to a valid DNS-server, and the first of them is up and running then try again.
I hear perl's DNS-package does not use but one dns-server, the first one in resolv.conf
