rsync - May 2005 - DNS lookup failures with rsync 2.6.4 on HP UX 11

Hello All,

I have compiled Rsync 2.6.4 on HP UX 11 using gcc 4.0. rsync binary 
fails to query DNS for a host name. If I give IP address instead of host 
name everything works ok. I tried to run snoop on DNS server by failed 
to recieve any packets. This would mean that rsync is not every hitting 
DNS server.

I get this error message
*rsync -v hello::
rsync: getaddrinfo: hello 873: host nor service provided, or not known
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(99)
*

If I replace hello with proper ip address or then add hello and its ip 
address in hosts file, everything works fine.

Any solution will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Selva
