I have my gentoo box connected to my DSL router that provides DNS. If I do an nslookup or ping a site or even use links to view a site everything works fine. I can even do an emerge sync without a problem. The problem happens when I try to emerge a package. For some reason whatever site it tries to download the package from resolves as 1.0.0.0

I've temporarily fixed this by putting some of the mirrors in my hosts file, but I'm puzzled as to why this only happens when I emerge a package.

Any thoughts?

emerge uses wget to download the packages have you tried using wget to download something to make sure that is the problem.
Check your FETCHCOMMAND isn't set to something strange, or set it to use one of the other downloaders.

FETCHCOMMAND looks fine. wget works fine on its own. It seems that emerge resolves the ip on its own and then hands it off to wget, which tries to use 1.0.0.0

I see:
Resolving some.site... 1.0.0.0
Connect to some.site[1.0.0.0]:80...

This seems to be a DNS server problem I guess, because when I switched to a different one, the problem went away, but I still wonder why it happens.

Is it possible emerge is trying to some weird dns query that the server doesn't understand?
