When I try, the lookup fails both when verifying and actually delivering.
Maybe dns_init() is never called in your case. In most cases it is called as
dns_init(FALSE, FALSE), which turns off RES_DEFNAMES (qualify unqualified
names) and RES_DNSRCH (search parents), but host_find_bydns() calls it with
the arguments set according to its whichrrs parameter.
manualroute_router_entry() calls rf_lookup_hostlist(), which in turn uses
host_find_byname() or host_find_bydns() depending on the options in the
routing list. In the case of bydns, rf_lookup_hostlist() calls
host_find_bydns() with the beforementioned flags in whichrrs unset, so in
that case the lookup always fails. But host_find_byname() doesn't call
dns_init() at all; thus the resolver uses the old options, whatever they may
be. That is probably a bug.
I don't know Phil's intentions, but it looks like you're supposed to use
qualified names with the manualroute router.
