Comment (by urilabob@…):
Well, it's now a year-and-a-half later and the problem hasn't resolved
itself: there are more misbehaving dns servers, and dnssec isn't taking
the world by storm... Meanwhile, the error message isn't very helpful (I
assumed, when I first read it, that the problem was servers with stale
caches...). While I would vote for jmr's fix myself, if we aren't going to
have it could we at least change the error warning to something like:
"Your DNS servers incorrectly give a DNS response for nonexistent hosts,
probably in an attempt to be helpful. This may cause checksum mismatches
for some ports. If you encounter problems, we suggest switching to a more
standard DNS for the duration of your macports session."
