Subject: TCPSocket delay problem

Matz,

I am running into a problem where it takes about 10 seconds for Ruby to make a 
connection using TCPSocket.  I've looked into this, and found that it is 
making a call to getaddrinfo(), and encountering a long delay because of an 
address that fails to resolve.  Turning off reverse lookup has no effect, 
because it isn't a reverse lookup, it is a forward lookup.

Any suggestions on how to work around this?
