5404.0. "Gethostbyname wait when dns not available?" by CSC32::J_HENSON (Don't get even, get ahead!) Wed Apr 02 1997 17:53
ucx 4.1 eco 4 for OpenVMS Alpuucx
ucx v4.1 - eco 4, openvms alpha v7.1
If a host name is not in the local database, and the name server is
not available, what determines how long gethostbyname will wait before
returning a failure status to the caller? A customer is claiming
that it is taking 1 minute for gethostbyname to return when this
condition occurs. He would like for it to return much sooner.
Is there any way to shorten the wait? If not, does anyone have any
suggestions for quickly determining (from program control) if a
name server is not available, or perhaps even a way to make this
a non-blocking call? Any and all ideas appreciated.
Thanks,
Jerry
