the write_graphite plugin will call getaddrinfo(3) on every connection
attempt. How the name resolution is done depends on the C library – on
many GNU/Linux systems DNS is one of multiple possibilities, for
example.

If /etc/resolv.conf is read, if it is re-read when modified and so on is
out of our control, unfortunately.

HTH, best regards,
