By default, Gentoo use these patches:

headtail.patch
dnsroots.patch
dnstracesort.patch
1.05-errno.patch
CVE2009-0858_0001-check-response-domain-name-length.patch
CVE2008-4392_0001-dnscache-merge-similar-outgoing-queries.patch
CVE2008-4392_0002-dnscache-cache-soa-records.patch

First 4 are harmless and required to compile/use djbdns on modern linux.
Last 3 I've disabled and tried to resolve these hosts without them - this
doesn't solved issue. Because of this I've recompiled djbdns using all
these patches again to have standard (for Gentoo) package. So, yeah, I
gather these logs with these patches.

I've uploaded all these patches to http://powerman.name/tmp/dnscache/

I'll now disable 3 CVE* patches again and gather new logs without them.
