Thanks for the feedback! I did have the impression from MAX_RECURSION
that it was specific to an allowed amount of CNAME recursion, and the
URIs needed more than that, so I thought to keep them seperate. But if
that's not an issue then I'm good with simplifying things like you
suggest. I've attached the revised patch and verified it with the
tests.

One side question, the krb5 test suite will need to run its URI tests
based on having the resolv_wrapper version with these patches, and no
earlier. The library only seems to have __res_search() available for an
autoconf version check; Is there some other way that we can reliably
check for the version?

Regards,
Matt
