Description:
Even when 'Protocol is' specified do be 'unix', in a connection string, Connector/NET first attempts to DNS resolve 'Server' parameter, which is specified as '/path/to/mysqld.sock' and throws an exception. 

How to repeat:
Use connection string 
"protocol=unix;server=/path/to/mysqld.sock"

Suggested fix:
Test for Protocol='unix' before attempting to DNS resolve 'Server' connection parameter

Thank you for the bug report.
Could you please provide repeatable test case (exact connection string, MySQL version etc. - please make it as private if you prefer) to confirm this issue at our end?

Thanks,
