Busybox reports “bad address” for hostnames

I'm running a statically linked Busybox 1.30.1 in QEMU/KVM with user-mode networking.



I'm using udhcpc to configure my network.



I receive an IP and can connect to remote hosts via IP address. I can forward nslookup without issue.



However, if I try to connect to a remote host by specifying the hostname, all the tools report "bad address".



udhcpc populates /etc/resolv.conf with the 10.0 range address of the host system.
