Hi,

gethostbyaddr is fine too. It does the same thing as getaddrinfo. We
could also use gethostname and append the result from getdomainname to
it, but POSIX does not specify the *domainname functions. I'll modify
the patch to use gethostbyaddr instead of getaddrinfo when I'm back at
home.

Cheers,
Sven
