Any intent to fix this? This kind of indeterminism is very crippling to
trying to use these functions in a feature that interacts with the user.

To be honest, no timeout has really made it hard to log users. There is
no point of logging IP's because they change too often for dial-up
users, and with my page timing out every third time someone goes to it,
I now have troubles.
By the way, 2 out of 3 who use gethostbyaddr have an issue with it
timing out constantly.

Is this bug still open? I think it's a really important bug and can
cause very long retards when the DNS lookup doesn't respond or some DNS
server is unreacheable.

I propose creating a timeout argument on the gethostbyname and
gethostbyaddr. I have a script that uses these, and if my internet
connection goes down it takes 1:30-2:00 minutes for 3 gethostbyname's to
timeout. This is way to long, and it would help if I could specify a
timeout.
