Do "man resolver" for a list of the functions that you can grep for in the source (or you can search for "res_" and "dn_" since they all start with one of those). Actually, those functions may not be called directly from the emacs source at all. Something like "gethostbyname() may be called, which indirectly calls the resolver. Derrell
