Re: monit net.c

[Martin Pala]

Hm,

i found the place where the problem occures, but i don't understand it. 
It happens if you use hostname, which is alias of the real name. For 
example:

www.underground.cz ... is alias for technomat.underground.cz

If you use IP address (81.31.2.202) or its real name 
(technomat.underground.cz) ping test woks good.

The problem is caused in icmp_echo() function (net.c) in 
gethostbyname(hostname). If alias is used it is resolved to bad address 
(probably gethostbyname error?)

Any ideas?
