What gethostbyname_ex and /usr/bin/hostname do are very different things. gethostbyname_ex does a DNS lookup against a server. /usr/bin/hostname just checks a local computer setting. I don't see why you are comparing the two. /usr/bin/hostname is not going to help you find a list of IP addresses that point to a machine. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
