Description of changes:

[2.3.4-2.57.el4.1]
- Previously, if the nscd daemon received a CNAME (Canonical Name) 
record as a
   response to a DNS (Domain Name System) query, the cached DNS entry 
adopted the
   TTL (Time to Live) value of the underlying "A" or "AAAA" response. 
This caused
   the nscd daemon to wait for an unexpectedly long time before 
reloading the DNS
   entry. With this update, nscd uses the shortest TTL from the response 
as the TTL
   value for the entire record. As a result, DNS entries are reloaded as 
expected
   in this scenario. (BZ#846063)
