Hello,
I reported before, AI_CANONNAME is used in different places with no good
reason. If you use the flag, the result would be in res[0].ai_canonname,
which is not used. So you can remove it and safe the elaborate resolving
which comes with it.
And I also think the comment "skip DNS lookup" is wrong, as GAI typically
(also) looks in /etc/hosts - and this is also documented in the mac os man
page.
So I think if you remove the flag you dont need the lookupIflocalhost
shortcut at all (or you need it on all systems).
And if you have a look there, I think the AI_ADDRCONFIG should be
considered, instead.
Gruss

Rob,
Did you try to remove
hints.ai_flags = AI_CANONNAME
this flag asks getaddreinfo to return FQDN, but the function behavior is
not clearly defined for the case where FQDN is not available.
