Description William Pitcock 2011-03-12 20:48:16 UTC

busybox's wget does not presently try all servers returned in a DNS record if one server is down.  this is in contrast to GNU wget, which does try all servers.

I tend towards WONTFIX. The libbb API relies heavily on the idea that "hostname[:port]" string gets resolved to one sockaddr, not to many sockaddrs.
