> Guy, > wat really does the field h_addr_list in struct > hostent means? , is it the replicated DNS's ips > (serveral servers ) or a particular DNS server having > serveral ips (single - multihomed server) I believe it's the list of addresses assigned to the host. For example, if you do a DNS lookup on www.yahoo.com, you will see that it has multiple IP addresses assigned to one hostname.
