while you are there you may want to replace gethostbyname (gethostbyaddr
is for IP to name, not name to ip) with getaddrinfo as a step towards
supporting IPv6 :) Even if you tell it to only return AF_INET (ie IPv4)
addresses. Some examples may be found in the sourcecode for netperf2 and
netperf4 which can be grabbed via subversion from
http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf2 and
http://www.netperf.org/svn/netperf4 respectively
