+Subject: [PATCH] non-existance of resolv.conf should not be fatal
+
+I've just put the following in for review.  The open question is whether
+we should return ISC_R_SUCCESS or some error code, when the file does not
+exist, and fix the callers.
+
+This should be enough to allow you to continue testing.
+
