When you said that: connect(char *name, uint16_t port) should work That can't work without breaking the existing functionality of the connect() system call.
And because most everybody has made more or less the same errors, the DNS TTL fails to cause their applications to work as intended and loses its utility as a tool to facilitate renumbering.Since I don't write applications for a living, I will admit I haven't rigorously tested any of the libraries out there, but, I'm willing to bet that someone, somewhere has probably written a good one by now.Yeah, and if you give me a few weeks I can probably find it amidst all the others which aren't so hot.
I doubt it would take weeks, but, in any case, it's probably faster than writing and debugging your own. Owen
