Any info is appreciated. I think the answer is "Not Yet". From the 3.0.4 netdb.h: struct hostent { char *h_name; /* official name of host */ char **h_aliases; /* alias list */ int h_addrtype; /* host address type */ int h_length; /* length of address */ #ifdef notyet char **h_addr_list; /* list of addresses from name server */ #define h_addr h_addr_list[0] /* address, for backward compatiblity */ #else char *h_addr; /* address */ #endif notyet }; We brought up BIND 4.8 under 3.0.4 without any trouble. However, one needs DYNIX sources to relink the utilities with the resolver. I really hope the next DYNIX release supports the nameserver; the static host table routines aren't terribly useful these days. -- Fletcher Mattox fletcher@cs.utexas.edu
