This is the ADNS resolver library for Windows, ported by Jarle (jgaa) Aase, jgaa@jgaa.com ADNS is not officially suppoted for Windows, but this port provides a 100% native Windows DLL and linker library for the DLL - suitable for traditional compilers and linkers under Windows. The library itself is ported to Microsot Visual C++ 6.0. The library is tested under Windows 2000 and XP, but should work with all versions from Windows NT 4 and up, and Windows98 and up. Windows95 is not supported. If you want to use the library in your own C/C++ project, you must set the following manifests before including adns.h: #define ADNS_MAP_UNIXAPI #define ADNS_DLL ADNS_MAP_UNIXAPI will enable the Win32 port in the header- files (else, they will use the defauts for a UNIX system) ADNS_DLL will enable linking to the exported DLL functions. Currently I have only made the DLL available. There are two reasons for this: 1) The DNS protocol is a mess - and it's difficult to make a foolproof implementation. If a security-problem is found (or other bugs) - the fix can usually be deployed just by replacing the DLL. 2) The GPL/LGPL lisence of ADNS (see GPL-vs-LGPL) will allow you to use the .dll in your project - as far as I can tell. A statically linked version will only be allowed in GPL licensed projects.

October 7th 2004 jgaa: adns-1.0-win32-03 - Fixed a problem with error-messages when the program works off-line. Thanks to Ulf Lamping for pointing ourt and solving the problem. April 4th 2004 jgaa: adns-1.0-win32-03 - Fixed broken gettimeofday() function. - Fixed problem with TCP connections, where the librarry failed to connect to DNS servers with TCP, and flooded the servers with TCP connection attempts. - Made sure that errno was handled corrcetly after all network (winsock) calls. - Fixed a few places where noblocking calls were not handled EAGAIN and EWOULDBLOCK is not the same under Windows.
