[Bug 991845] Re: Empathy on 12.04, some MSN users cannot see me online at all, one way conversations

[Martin Daser]

Hello,
I faced a similar problem when trying to access my facebook account.
AFAIK, the facebook account is using the Jabber/XMPP protocol; and that protocol may use various DNS queries, which others don't use (SRV,  et al.).
In Precise Pangolin a local DNS resolver, dnsmasq, was introduced; all DNS traffic is handled by this program.
Is it possible, that dnsmasq does not handle SRV requests?
As I am running a local bind9 server anyways, I deactivated dnsmasq completely and can now access my facebook account without any problems.
