Message-ID: <20001113003402.F11449@fw.wintelcom.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.4i Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hey, I'm not having much fun trying to find threadsafe code to do gethostbyname_r, someone pointed me at Bind9 which has what looks like some threadsafe stuff, however I can't seem to find any docco for it. (such as how to init the hostent that I pass to it and which functions are trully threadsafe) I'm going to keep reading the library source (and cursing the ISC) but I was wondering if anyone knew of any docs for the bind9 stuff or any other thread safe (non-GPL'd) resolver library. thanks, -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
