2010-02-09inet:gethostbyname improved to parse IP strings and look up own hostnameRaimo Niskanen
Now inet:gethostbyname tries to parse the hostname as an IP string first if the 'native' lookup method is not used. One can also make the IP string parsing explicit using the new 'string' lookup method, or avoid it using the new pseudo lookup method 'nostring'. In R13B04 a bug was introduced when the gethostbyname code was rewritten, so if the native resolver was used and misconfigured to not be able to look up the own hostname, inet:gethostbyname also failed. This is now fixed.
