Works fine, thanks a lot. Also earlier in this thread I reported that DnsQuery was sometime failing to resolve localhost with an error (not the question/answer snafu). What happens is that if you ask e.g. to resolve localhost for a MX record, DnsQuery answers that localhost does not exist and it repeats that answer even for A and AAAA record for the next 15-20 min (surely the TTL). That's a bug I can live with (it may depend partially on the upstream nameservers). It will be mitigated when I add functionality to gethostbyname2 as discussed previously.
