gethostbyname function

Hello everybody

I have a question about network features. 

I want to obtain the IP address of my target.

I use gethostname to obtain the name of the target. It 
works well.
When I call gethostbyname(server_name), I obtain NULL
because /etc/hosts cannot be opened.
Currently I use the field ip_address in the rtems_bsdnet_ifconfig
structure. But I want to know if the gethostbyname (and others like
gethostbyaddr,...) works and how to enable it.

Thanks in advance,

-- Emmanuel
