Package: libc6 Version: 2.6-4 Severity: wishlist The apparently-unused gethnamaddr.c defines MULTI_PTRS_ARE_ALIASES, causing "inverse" in-addr.arpa lookups of hosts with multiple PTR records to contain the first returned hostname in hostent->h_name and the other hostnames as h_aliases.
However dns-host.c doesn't define this (nor the also-necessary MAXALIASES), so h_aliases is empty in this context. It's useful to have this available, especially since recent bind9 by default does round-robin ordering for PTRs. bind9 unconditionally returns multiple ptrs as aliases in ./lib/bind/irs/dns_ho.c. bind8 seems to do the same. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
