This patch should be applied to >/usr/include/arpa/nameser.h, as well as /usr/src/include/arpa/nameser.h. Needs to be done, but that brought up something I thought was great. Under ultrix, you have a file that allows you to specify where to go for name resolving information. This is a good thing, IMHO, and Bill Wisner hacked up resolv to add this functionality. This package, resolv+, can be had at ftp.uu.net:networking/ip/dns/resolv+.tar.Z includes new version of nameser.h and a couple others. I recommend it highly. However, unless he has gotten the patches I sent him for 386BSD and Ultrix in, it will require this same sort of patch that Sean just posted.
