Howdy all,
Thanks to Daniel's great tips, wasn't too bad. We patched xserver to skip the DNS lookup. The xserver parameter processing is rather different on win32 vs unix in the source, but we did our best to copy the 'existing code style' in how we implemented the change. The code for the patch to 7.5.00.8: http://www.IPCoast.com/xserver-dns-lookup-75008-patch.txt Our experience hacking on the source: -- We used Visual Studio Professional 2003 to provide the Microsoft compilers. -- The source download on mysql.com would not extract correctly using our standard Windows XP methods. We ended up extracting the source code tree on a Linux system and copying it over to our win32 system using SSH. -- If you develop on Windows XP, make sure you change Devtools\pgm\ptoc.exe to run "windows 2000 compatibility mode".
