Works fine, thanks a lot.

Also earlier in this thread I reported that DnsQuery was sometime 
failing to resolve localhost with an error (not the question/answer snafu).
What happens is that if you ask e.g. to resolve localhost for a MX record,
DnsQuery answers that localhost does not exist and it repeats that answer
even for A and AAAA record for the next 15-20 min (surely the TTL).
That's a bug I can live with (it may depend partially on the upstream
nameservers). It will be mitigated when I add functionality to
gethostbyname2 as discussed previously.

Pierre
