Some people might just know that, but we mortals who don't can find it on the Cygwin Package Search at: http://cygwin.com/packages/ (You can also get to it from the links on the left side of http://www.cygwin.com). >From there, search for "nameser.h", or even "arpa/nameser.h" to search a little more precisely. To avoid the likely confusion for this particular case, note that there are a number of -src packages listed, including cygwin-<version>-src that include that file as well. Generally, you don't want the -src packages unless you intend to build that particular package, so that the minires-devel module mentioned previously.
