One of our proxies is running on OpenBSD 4.2 and when trying to monitor some hosts by DNS names, the following error is written into the log file: 14378:20110113:172100.105 Item [host1:net.if.out[{$NET_IF_ETH},bytes]] error: Get value from agent failed: gethost() failed for address 'host1.network.lan' [Undefined error: 0] Non-Zabbix utilities like ping and nslookup resolve domain names properly. |

This happens when Zabbix server is compiled without IPv6 support and a host is set to be monitored by a DNS name that fails to resolve. On Linux, Zabbix server would also write a log message about failed gethost(): 32338:20110602:132002.912 Item [ |

So domain resolution on OpenBSD works. There is another bug, however. Namely, we output an error message based on "errno", whereas we should actually output an error message based on "h_errno". This has been fixed in development branch svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBX-3420. |

Error message fixed in pre-1.8.6 in r20187. |
