Well, that would rock, except that currently I'm using NSThreads, which
cannot be killed (unless someone has figured out how to do so, since
the last time we all discussed this topic).
I really should be using pthreads anyway for portability reasons. I
wonder if pthreads can be killed? If so, that would be great. I would
make the switch in a heartbeat if that were the case.
Anyone know if pthreads can be killed from the main thread?

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.
