[syslinux] SYSLINUX 3.70-pre7: a very special prerelease

[a178235]

According to Wireshark, DNS queries are working. I am unable complete the Linux boot 9 out of 10 times though. I am using VMware Workstation on Windows that PXE boots from a Windows Deployment Services server, and goes through a Microsoft ISA server to get to the Internet. It’s most likely one of the above causing the problem. I have attached a Wireshare capture file that may help you pinpoint the problem. It’s not a big deal since DNS is obviously working and I’m probably using this in a non-supported way.

That's really surprising. It definitely worked with DNS names here. 
Any way you could provide a packet trace, preferrably a Wireshark dump file?
