We've been seeing an error very similar to the one in #95 - after an error, dnsjava would stop resolving anything and constantly time out. In our case it was also a truncated UDP response, which would fallback to TCP.
Through debugging I discovered that the errored-out channels stayed in the selector, constantly reading -1 and blocking any query sending from happening, making every query time out. What was happening is that
channel.disconnect()
was throwing an IOException ("network is unreachable"), so the channel was never closed and thus stuck in the selector. Changing the codepath to always callchannel.close()
resolved the issue.
