Hi, I'm facing a time-out issue while using getaddrinfo(). Initially my application used gethostbyname() to get fully qualified domain name. Now, it has been replaced by getaddrinfo(). ( Reason : to support ipv6 addresses in the application. ) The original time-out value has been retained. I learnt from sm research that getaddrinfo() apparantly takes a longer time to return. Could you please provide me with further detailed explanation as to how and why getaddrinfo takes longer time to return. Is there anyway I can continue with my present time-out value and still support ipv6 addresses. Thanks n regards Vaidya - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
