Re: straight-C DNS lookup with timeout?

This is probably the worst idea in the history of threaded programming, but have you considered implementing the timeout yourself by running gethostbyaddr() in a second thread, having your first thread sleep for a while, then kill the second if it hasn't found the hostent?

I'm using gethostbyaddr() right now, but I'm open for any straight-C suggestions. I must set a quicker timeout on the lookup. The default timeout is way too long for gethostbyaddr().

Thanks.
