Hi, I'm in the process of trying to debug why getaddrinfo() is failing to perform reverse DNS lookups on my etch-amd64 system. (glibc version 2.3.6.ds1-13etch2)
I've posted a tiny C program here that reproduces the problem: http://cila-search.net/~billk/debug/getaddrinfo/ ( getaddrinfo-test.c ) I'm hoping some folks on this list might be willing to compile and run the program on your systems, and see if yours is broken the same way. If it works properly you should see "www.example.com". If it's broken you should see "208.77.188.166". For example: $ gcc getaddrinfo-test.c $ ./a.out sock_addrinfo: error=0 res->ai_canonname='208.77.188.166' You can cross-check with the host command on the command line: $ host 208.77.188.166 166.188.77.208.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer www.example.com. If the host command says "www.example.com" but the C program says "208.77.188.166" then your system would appear to be broken like mine.
