For reference, all error codes which can be returned by DNSQuery_A are listed by Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681391 * I cannot say for sure if reports like http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50903 are valid. I do know from reading the PHP source that there are three separate *NIX implementations of php_dns_search(), but Andreas has not investigated which one his Ubuntu server is using. It seems likely that this inconsistency affects NIX implementations as well.
