Thanks for the reply, Ned. Bummer for me. Check this out:
C code on Solaris 10 SPARC returns the following with nscd running (the Solaris Naming Services Caching Daemon, on by default): PRIMARY according to gethostbyaddr(): my-dns-cname.our.org ALIAS according to gethostbyaddr(): primary.our.org However, I can stop/start nscd and get the complete opposite (correct) result. C code on Solaris 10 SPARC returns the following with nscd OFF: PRIMARY according to gethostbyaddr(): my-dns-cname.our.org ALIAS according to gethostbyaddr(): primary.our.org These then ALTERNATE consistently with every successive invocation of my code. C code on Linux 2.6 with glibc 2.5 returns: PRIMARY according to gethostbyaddr(): primary.our.org [ no aliases get listed ] Time to query the corporate DNS folks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
