I have been having a problem with the MacTCP Domain Name Resolver and
can't seem to find any documented answers.
I can't figure out how to cancel a DNR request. Actually, I would be
perfectly happy if I could figure out how to set a timeout on the name
lookup, but I can't even figure out that. Basically, it doesn't say
anywhere how to set a timeout for the DNR, and as far as cancelling
goes, here is the description of CloseResolver:
Before the application exits, the CloseResolver call must be
made to release memory structures and terminate all outstanding
domain name server calls. CloseResolver should not be called
until all outstanding resolver calls have been completed.
Now what is that supposed to mean?!?!? Can I call CloseResolver to
"terminate all outstanding domain name server calls" or can't I?
Even if I can't, I would settle for having a timeout to set to get rid
of the lookup. Any hope here?
