Thank you for the reply and the suggestion, Craig. While the hosts addresses
are static, each one has two addresses such as 10.4.9.3 (wired) and 10.4.9.103
(wireless). nmblookup is definitely helpful in finding which address is
active, since only one interface is active at a time.
This probably isn't a good solution for anyone else, but I ended up just
removing the gethostbyname() lookups in the code to force nmblookups all the
time. Maybe if DNS hijacking becomes a bigger problem you may want to consider
making it a configurable option?
Thanks again.
