The DnsApi is indeed for win xp and 2k only ...
I will try first with getaddrinfo ... it seems good enough. The second
param you can specify either a port or service name for the hostname
you are trying to resolv ... this is exactly what i want. Probably the
DnsApi allows for far more advanced stuff ... but maybe is not needed.
