One possibility is to wait for the FFI to be available in Emacs, which
might enable better DNS resolution plugin libraries.
You could also disable the Gravatar support with
`gnus-treat-mail-gravatar' and friends when you're offline.
Finally, you could hard-code the IP address to the Gravatar server in
your /etc/hosts file, but that has obvious long-term issues.
