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.
