#21487 [Com]: gethostbyname can resolve not existing hosts under Windows

Using nslookup on the host..
Is this a DNS issue then? Or should PHP catch this as
"non-existing"?
I've executed
<?php
echo nslookup 150.250.35.66.list.dsbl.org;
?>
and it outputs:
Name: 150.250.35.66.list.dsbl.org.happilyhosted.com
Address: 216.82.79.97

<?php
echo 'PHP '.phpversion()."\n";
$sdip = gethostbyname("slashdot.org");
$sddomain = gethostbyaddr($sdip);
print "IP: $sdip\n";
print "Domain: $sddomain\n";
echo gethostbyname('totallyfake456jh47r.com')."\n";
echo gethostbyname('2.0.0.127.list.dsbl.org')."\n";
echo gethostbyname('972.79.82.216.list.dsbl.org')."\n";
echo gethostbyname('150.250.35.66.list.dsbl.org')."\n";
?>
returns:
PHP 4.3.10
IP: 66.35.250.150
Domain: slashdot.org
totallyfake456jh47r.com
127.0.0.2
216.82.79.97
216.82.79.97
All looks fine, exept the last two lines! It returns the
server's IP address (216.82.79.97) when an entry is not
listed in dsbl.org.

I've just seen the same problem on PHP 4.3.10/win32:
<?php
$db = gethostbyname("gmx.de");
var_dump($db);
$db = gethostbyname("gmx.de5");
var_dump($db);
$db = gethostbyname("gmx.de5.");
var_dump($db);
?>
returns
string(14) "213.165.64.215"
string(12) "216.82.79.97"
string(12) "216.82.79.97"
I'm not the server admin, just troubleshooting it
remotely.

It's possible that your DNS is setup with a search domain that has a
wildcard. I'd like you to try two things:
1) gethostbyname("gms.de5."); <--- does that return an IP address as
well? (Note the trailing dot)
2) Check your TCP/IP Properties | Advanced Settings | DNS Tab |
describe every single piece of information on this property sheet, give
detail.
Interrestingly there doesn't seem to be a revese lookup for
62.75.134.200...

With the following script:
<?php
$db = gethostbyname("gmx.de5");
var_dump($db);
$db = gethostbyname("gmx.de");
var_dump($db);
?>
Edin can't reproduce the problem under windows.
Can you please try that script? You're saying that host gmx.de5 on the
server reports an error but you're under windows and windows doesn't
have 'host'... Are you sure your DNS is working fine? I'm getting
213.165.65.100 from gmx.de and not 62.75.134.200...
gethostbyname() is also supposed to return the hostname on failure. At
least thats what we (Edin and me) are getting under Windows and
Linux/Unix.
Thank you for your report.
