To run a script in screen, replace your shebang with

#!/usr/bin/screen -S screenName /bin/bash

or to have it automatically detach and return control back to the console,

#!/usr/bin/screen -d -m -S screenName /bin/bash

This even seems to work correctly if you are already inside a screen session.

Researching this turned up a ton of hits about this being a DDOS or similar. We knew this wasn’t the case and after dumping the tcp streams it turns out that we had pointed http and https at the http port on the sorry server, so https requests are being returned as invalid and causing the ..reading.. line in the mod_status output. Doh!

The easy fix is to edit /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

Change

<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
	<string>/usr/sbin/mDNSResponder</string>
	<string>-launchd</string>
</array>

to

<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
	<string>/usr/sbin/mDNSResponder</string>
	<string>-launchd</string>
	<string>-AlwaysAppendSearchDomains</string>
</array>

Restart the mDNSResponder service:

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

And your dns queries should always work correctly.
