(network-lookup-address-info NAME &optional FAMILY) Look up ip address info of NAME. Optional parameter FAMILY controls whether to look up IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. The default of nil means both, symbol `ipv4' means IPv4 only, symbol `ipv6' means IPv6 only. Returns a list of addresses, or nil if none were found. Each address is a vector of integers. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Anyway, this bug report wasn't really about dns.el, but about datagram sockets not being implemented on the Windows port. The dns.el problem is just fallout.

It's just a capability that works on GNU/Linux and not on Windows. And that's why I updated this bug report, to mark that it wasn't obsolete.
