I think I found the problem possibly....I ran an example I found for
c-ares that uses the ares_gethostbyaddr and it works on my host system
but not on the PS3. I keep getting an error, ARES_ENOTFOUND, which
means domain name not found. I started looking at the c-ares source
code and I noticed in ares_private.h, PATH_RESOLV_CONF gets defined to
/etc/resolv.conf, PATH_HOSTS gets defined to /etc/hosts. Those
files don't exist on the PS3. I wonder if I can hard code some
values in c-ares some how. Thanks for putting me on the right track.
