0x04 - no equivalent, dns failover can be turned off only globally and not per transaction.
NEWS tells:
use_dns_failover = on | off (default off)
does "off" mean that, for example, if a domain name has two A records, only one of them is tried?
Yes. Only the first A, no SRV and no naptr.
if so, why is default "off"? i don't remember that kind of default in any other application.
Same behaviour as old versions, performance/memory (less memory used since transactions die quicker).
I'm not against changing the default provided that more people want it and someone takes care of changing all the doc references.
