It was Laurent who mentioned dnsip. You mixed only things and I tried
to clarify this.

ping is not a candidate to just query an IP address. Completely
different purpose -> don't use it for this purpose if you do not
understand why!

You mixed things up and mentioned to add your applet with optional name
'host'. Giving an applet of your function this name is wrong. This is
what I wanted to clarify and why. In addition I wanted to help you
finding the info of the mentioned getent command. That's all.

Whops! This looks not very well. May be you detected a bug? Same
version shell give comparable output. There seams to be definitly
something wrong, especially that '#53'. Try to find the reason.
