The OP wanted something which called > the system resolver, which means getaddrinfo(), not res_query(). Considering the problem he was trying to solve, I didn't think he cared about things like /etc/hosts, he just wants to exercise the DNS stub resolver. If you just want to do a hostname lookup, you can use practically any network application, e.g. ping. And how would you use getaddrinfo() to test MX lookups, for instance? -- Barry Margolin, [email protected] Arlington, MA *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
