Actually, I think I prefer

	if (hp && hp->h_length == sizeof to->sin_addr) {
		do DNS lookup succeeded stuff
	} else {
		do DNS lookup failed stuff
	}

since if you got back a response longer than you expect and you copy
the first 4 bytes, you're likely to just have junk.  I'd rather it say
"host not found" than "trying 58.16.99.128".
