Removing chroot in stunnel.conf fixes the problem, but its no longer jailed.

Hints?

Yes. You have several options: 1. As you noticed you can turn off chroot. 2. You can turn off delayed resolver (to resolve hosts at startup, before chroot). 3. You can create the files/devices your resolver library needs inside the chroot jail. strace is your friend: http://sourceforge.net/projects/strace/ 4. You can use IP address as "connect" parameter instead of domain name. 8-)
