Subject: dnslookup server

Hi,

Below I've attached a little piece of c-code. It's my own implementation
of a little server application to run along with the mud to handle queries
on a specified port for looking up hostnames. The program reveives the
input that the mud produces in the new_descriptor() function as the:
peer.sin_saddr.s_addr. A network byte ordered long int, that gives the IP
adress of the connectee. It then returns either an IP adress or a hostname
depending on the ability to look up a hostname.

Now, the program seems to work perfectly, listens to the specified socket
awaiting inpus, processes the query for a gethostbyaddr() call and stuff.

If you have comments/sugestions please drop a line :)

Note that the book "Advanced Programming In The Unix Environment" by
Richard Stevens is _highly_ recomended if you are programing on a unix
machine.
