Uwe Kleine-König 63e5ba8e69 busybox: nslookup: ensure unique transaction IDs for the DNS queries
On machines with a coarse monotonic clock (here: TP-Link RE200 powered
by a MediaTek MT7620A) it can happen that the two DNS requests (for A
and AAAA) share the same transaction ID. If this happens the second
reply is wrongly dropped and nslookup reports "No answer".

Fix this by ensuring that the transaction IDs are unique.

Subject: [PATCH] nslookup: ensure unique transaction IDs for the DNS queries
The transaction IDs generated by res_mkquery() for both glibc and musl only
depends on the state of the monotonic clock.
For some machines (here: a TP-Link RE200 powered by a MediaTek MT7620A)
the monotonic clock has a coarse resolution (here: 20 µs) and it can happen
that the requests for A and AAAA share the same transaction ID.
In that case the mapping from received responses to the sent queries
doesn't work and name resolution fails as follows:
# /bin/busybox nslookup heise.de
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1:53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: heise.de
Address: 193.99.144.80
*** Can't find heise.de: No answer
because the AAAA reply is dropped as a duplicate reply to the A query.
To prevent this make sure the transaction IDs are unique.
