[9fans] sshnet and the go dns resolver

[Steve Simon <steve@quintile.net>]

hi,

the senerio - i have a plan9 terminal, a mac laptop. the laptop connects to a vpn.

i write in go, and thus far i use sshfs to mount the mac’s filesystem and edit my code. i build and run the code on the mac.

i thought i could use git9 via sshnet to work natively on plan9

most of this is fine but when go tries to access mod files for packages on the vpn i get a “no sutiable address found” error for proxy.golang.org.

i can resce the address i need (over the vpn) using ndb/dnsquery however.

if i try and build without my sshnet vpn connection then i get a different error which refers to a repository on the vpn.

so. i think the native resolver in the go libraries (and thus in the go executable) do not play nicely with sshnet.

my guess (only a guess) is go is trying to do its own name resolution using udp port 53 and sshnet does not support udp.

anyone any ideas?
can i convince go to use plan9’s own name resolution?
can ssh (and thus sshnet) forward udp or is that not possible?

thanks for any ideas

-Steve
