VMS Help  —  TCPIP Services, Programming Interfaces, Socket API Functions, gethostbyaddr()  Description
    This function finds the first host record with the specified
    address in the hosts database or using DNS/BIND.
    The gethostbyaddr() function uses a common static area for its
    return values. This means that subsequent calls to this function
    overwrite previously returned host entries. You must make a copy
    of the host entry if you want to save it.
