   I am MAC OSX 10.4.11,  and dd-wrt LINUX 2.4.46,  I couldn't find a man   
   page on the MAC for res_ninit, however I did find it included in the   
   resolve.h header file.  After a bit of googling I revamped the code to   
   look like this:   
      
   #include    
      
   #define MAXPACKETSIZE IPV6_MAXPACKET   
      
   boolean_t   
   SniffResolver()   
   {   
   	// Arguments   
   	const char dname = "azzmosphere.azzmos.com.au";   
   	int  anslen      = MAXPACKETSIZE;   
   	// end arguments   
      
   	res_state statep;   
      
   	u_char *answer = malloc(MAXPACKETSIZE);   
   	int ranslen = 0;   
      
   	ranslen = res_ninit(statep);   
      
   	//ranslen = res_init();   
   	//syslog(LOG_DEBUG, "_res.options = '%d'", _res.options);   
      
   	syslog(LOG_DEBUG, "ranslen = '%d'", ranslen);   
      
   	   
   	ranslen = res_nsearch(statep, dname, C_IN, T_A, answer, anslen);   
   	   
   	syslog(LOG_DEBUG, "ranslen = '%d'", ranslen);   
      
      
   	return TRUE;   
   }   
      
      
   Unfortunately still getting exactly the same error????
