Details

Linux mozilla's async resolver seems to be caching /etc/resolv.conf, forcing restarts when that file is changed. This is not normall application behaviour. Is this known and wanted?

We don't have async dns lookups turned on for Unix yet. We are simply calling gethostbyname (actually PR_GetIPNodeByName, which in turn calls gethostbyname). Could you describe the symptoms in more detail? Wan-Teh, any ideas?
As Gordon said, we are just calling gethostbyname() or gethostbyname2() on Linux. I did a text search in the source tree (using http://lxr.mozilla.org) for "resolv.conf" and did find any match.
Marking this bug as INVALID. If this continues to cause a problem for someone, please reopen with additional information so we can track down the cause. Thanks.
