I've just committed some changes to the DNS client code that are not backwards compatible. I don't think many people are using it yet (Tv is actually the only person I know of), but if you are, consider this your heads up :) The change is in all the lookup* methods - they now return a tuple of 3 lists. The first element of this tuple is the same list as was previously returned, all by its lonesome. There's also a new, high-level interface available via getHostByName(). It returns just a string.
