Your stunnel.conf contains: chroot = /var/lib/stunnel4/
Unfortunately this directory does not contain resolver configuration files:

These are WITHOUT the suggested patch, I am not really equipped for building on this server.
The patch should solve your problem by causing stunnel to wait until your resolver is available before chroot(2) is executed.
Workarounds:
- mkdir /var/lib/stunnel4/etc&& cp /etc/resolv.conf
/var/lib/stunnel4/etc/ 2. Use IP address instead of host names in your stunnel.conf 3. Add static IP address of your remote host to /etc/hosts

Many thanks for the analysis, Mike. I'll have to organise myself to build so I can apply the patch.
Can I be really cheeky and ask one more question? Why does the problem not go away when my resolver is available - Shouldn't stunnel look again for this stuff after getting a temporary error?
Thanks again,
Phil
