        You may have to use -lresolv on SunOS.  However, beware that

-       I understand that resolv+ works properly, allowing you to

-       we use DNS exclusively.

+       There is substantial disagreement about whether you can make
+       this work with resolv+, which allows you to specify a search-path
+       of services.  Some people report that it works fine, others
+       claim it doesn't work at all (including causing sendmail to
+       drop core when it tries to do multiple resolv+ lookups for a
+       single job).  I haven't tried resolv+, as we use DNS exclusively.

+       Should you want to try resolv+, it is on ftp.uu.net in
+       /networking/ip/dns.
