As far I remember then > dns_get_record wasn't implemented on BSD aswell. If not then it would > be ideal to support it if OSX is patched :) Yeah it would work on all of the BSDs, though we have some wierd bastardisation of bind8 and bind9 code in dns.c, I think some gentle refactoring is in order to get this in a bit better shape. OS X actually has res_nmkquery but AC_CHECK_FUNC can't correctly detect this because of the way its defined in resolv.h, it's something like this. #define res_nmkquery bind_9_nmkquery AC_CHECK_FUNC does an #undef res_nmkquery as part of its test resulting in the failure. FreeBSD has __res_nmkquery but unfortunately PHP_CHECK_FUNC when checking for res_nmkquery OR __res_nmkquery it doesn't tell you which one it found. I'll fix this in stages I guess, starting with the autoconf fun. Scott
