Lots, if not most, of applications would use  the winsock function
gethostbyname, which is handled by the Unix gethostbyname function. 
That works fine ;)

You think the app is doing the query itself?

If I add the string registry value
HKLM\System\CurrentControlset\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DhcpNameServer
and fill it the IP address of a name server it works here.

A NT4 nslookup.exe worked immediately, a Win2K version only if I did set
the version to NT4.
