You are not right. It is not the same behavior! You can find the IP address of a name with less code, correct, but this uses the libc implementation of the resolver and does not the same kind of work a DNS client does. So the decision is first, which kind of work you need -> In your case: Simple IP address lookup with libc function. In case you would need a full fledged DNS query (seperate from libc implementation), Laurent would be right. I don't think you are able to write a full DNS query with less code. So please keep in mind: Things tend to look different if viewed from a more global point, and you need to use the correct language to describe your problem, otherwise anybody will misunderstand something and complain or point you in a wrong direction. Beside this, Busybox has nslookup. What is wrong with that? Only different output format? In case you complain because the many information it displays: What about an option for nslookup, lets say -s (for short) to display only single line of output (if only one address returned from query)? Just as an unverified idea. What about this? -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
