Hi Marcelus! How are you?? (I'm Blug, from Abba's World! :-))

I don't know any way for running gethostbyaddr() call on background,
except if you use threads, but this is a bit complicated for a simple
gethostbyaddr() call.
I sent a message to this list on last April 06, with a patch created by
me that uses the GNU adns resolver for this. Always remember to check
the archives! :-)
This message is archived on:
http://post.queensu.ca/cgi-bin/listserv/wa?A2=ind0004&L=circle&F=&S=&P=5032
The link on this message is no longer valid. Now my patch is found at
(the README is on the same file):
http://topazio.linkway.com.br/circle/adns-bpl17.patch.gz
If you have any problems installing this patch on your mud (I know that
your mud is based upon bpl15, and this patch is for bpl17), you can
e-mail me, and I will help you. :-)
Hum... I think it is time to upload it to CircleMUD FTP site... I will
do it this week.
Cordially,

Personally, I like my flying brains dark and evil.
