Comment 38 for bug 1723350

@renbag: Do you see "sssd[be[896]: Backend is offline" in "systemctl status sssd"?
Is your backend server given as hostname / fqdn in sssd.conf?

@ahasenack: try_inotify=false did not change the issue at all. With strace, I can still see 127.0.0.1 being queried. IMHO this can only be an ugly race between c_ares channel creation and resolv.conf changing. In addition, inotify support is borked, since no new watch is created when the inode of the watched file changes, but this should be a different issue.
