As Ulrich Drepper outlines in detail at
http://udrepper.livejournal.com/16116.html, one should use getaddrinfo instead
of gethostbyname.

The function is described in POSIX standard as:
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/getaddrinfo.html


Note: Also POSIX writes:
"The getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() functions are preferred over the
gethostbyaddr() and gethostbyname() functions." [...] "The gethostbyaddr() and
gethostbyname() functions may be withdrawn in a future version."
