Has anybody hacked on traceroute to have it do a T_PTR query to the
nameserver for any Internet address that fails the gethostbyaddr() call?
My intention is to have it give the names for the various gateways that a
packet goes through, not have bland numbers all over the place. I've
started to do it, but I'd rather not spend two days refreshing myself on
network programming only to discover it's been done. :-)
Thanks for any ideas.
Brendan

Don't hack traceroute, get a version of gethostbyaddr() that uses the domain system. -- Barry Margolin, Thinking Machines Corp. barmar@think.com {uunet,harvard}!think!barmar

Or make sure the Berkeley resolv library you link it with is really the Berkeley library, not Sun's resolv (for some reason I forgot to move libresolv-bsd.a over to libresolv.a). <<cough>> Followups to /dev/null; flames to /dev/dsk/funny-farm, where I wanted to take a trip to when I realized why gethostbyaddr() was failing.
