You don't have to have *only* busybox on your embedded box. Functionality that is not (yet) implemented in busybox can sometimes be found elsewhere. You could download and compile djbdns ( http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html ) (you don't need to bother with daemontools and ucspi-tcp if all you want is a command line DNS client) and just keep the "dnsip" binary, which does exactly what you want. The binary is quite small. Guys, please remember that the point of busybox is to provide lightweight implementations of stuff that is only available as a GNU noodle plate. When lightweight implementations already exist, adding an applet to busybox isn't so important. -- Laurent _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list busybox@busybox.net http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
