Thank you for the reply and the suggestion, Craig. While the hosts addresses are static, each one has two addresses such as 10.4.9.3 (wired) and 10.4.9.103 (wireless). nmblookup is definitely helpful in finding which address is active, since only one interface is active at a time. This probably isn't a good solution for anyone else, but I ended up just removing the gethostbyname() lookups in the code to force nmblookups all the time. Maybe if DNS hijacking becomes a bigger problem you may want to consider making it a configurable option?
