title: StackExchange.Redis failing to connect with Mono in Mac OS X
body: <p>I'm trying to run a very simple Redis client on Mono in Mac OS X with the following options:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var configOptions = new ConfigurationOptions() 
  {
      EndPoints =
  {
      { "localhost", 6379 },
  },
  ResolveDns = true,
  KeepAlive = 180
  };
  StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
  ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect(configOptions, tw);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It fails to connect. Here is the trace:</p>

  <p>I've tried with and without ResolveDNS and specifying the IP address directly. Tried several ports as well. Server is running and is reachable by redis-cli.</p>
