The problem with bind is that the resolver library doesn't work correct, I have problems using it for an Exim port, i.e. the service lookup in /etc/services doesn't work so it wouldn't help much to have it. I have also problems using nslookup, maybe it is the same cause. > b) is really needed to build a resolver when the underlying winsock > already do that? couln't a "stub" libresolv be easier and smaller to do? That is the point, winsock is there and needs only to be accessed. What we need is a wrapper around winsock. So the unix apps can call their res_query or whatever from libresolv which is in fact winsock. Gerrit -- convey Information Systems GmbH http://www.convey.de/ Vitalisstraße 326-328 Gerrit P.
