"Cannot connect to any servers" (but I can telnet to the server)
I ran into a weird behavior: Everything runs normally when I am connected to the internet (wlan or ethernet), e.g.
$ dict -I -v
Configuration file:
server localhost
dictd 1.13.1/rf on Linux 5.17.4-arch1-1
On machina: up 11:07, 8 forks (43.2/hour)

When I am offline I get
$ dict -I -v
Configuration file:
server localhost
Cannot connect to any servers
but I can still access and query the local dict server with
$ telnet localhost 2628
Any ideas why dict fails to connect to the server when I am offline?
