One is the user interface called the +\fIresolver\fP +which consists of a group of routines that reside in the C library +\fI/lib/libc.a\fP. +Second is the actual server called \fInamed\fP. +This is a daemon that runs in the background and services queries on a +given network port. The standard port for UDP and TCP is specified in +\fI/etc/services\fP. +.sh 2 "Resolver Routines in libc" +.pp +When building your 4.3BSD system you may either +build the C library to use the name server resolver routines +or use the host table lookup routines to do host name and address resolution. +The default resolver for 4.3BSD uses the name server. Newer BSD systems +include both name server and host table functionality with preference given +to the name server if there is one or if there is a \fI/etc/resolv.conf\fP +file. +.pp +Building the C library to use the name server changes the way +\fIgethostbyname\fP\|(3N), \fIgethostbyaddr\fP\|(3N), and +\fIsethostent\fP\|(3N) do their functions. The name server renders +\fIgethostent\fP\|(3N) obsolete, since it has no concept of a next line in +the database. These library calls are built with the resolver routines +needed to query the name server. +.pp +The \fIresolver\fP contains functions that build query +packets and exchange them with name servers. +.pp +Before building the 4.3BSD C library, set the variable \fIHOSTLOOKUP\fP +equal to \fInamed\fP in \fI/usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile\fP. You +then make and install the C library and compiler and then compile the rest +of the 4.3BSD system. For more information see section 6.6 of ``Installing +and Operating 4.3BSD on the VAX\(dd''. +.(f +\(ddVAX is a Trademark of Digital Equipment Corporation +.)f +.pp +If your operating system isn't VAX\(dd 4.3BSD, it is probably the case that +your vendor has included \fIresolver\fP support in the supplied C Library. +You should consult your vendor's documentation to find out what has to be +done to enable \fIresolver\fP support. Note that your vendor's \fIresolver\fP +may be out of date with respect to the one shipped with \s-1BIND\s+1, and that +you might want to build \s-1BIND\s+1's resolver library and install it, and +its include files, into your system's compile/link path so that your own +network applications will be able to use the newer features. |
