Subject: Library routine to do DNS lookup.

Category: 
  - Routine
  - Data Dictionary

Description: 
============

  
 This Patch installs a routine that can do a DNS lookup to convert a 
 domain name to an IP address. This routine has two supported API's.
 The change by VISN's to the 10. private IP addressing pushed the need
 for this patch. 
  
 ***************IMPORTANT*********************************************
 This patch is used by HL7 patch HL*1.6*63.
 The POST install will enter the address of one of the national 
 DNS servers.  PLEASE CHANGE TO THE CORRECT ONE FOR YOUR SITE.
 IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THIS PATCH IN A TEST ENVIRONMENT ALONG WITH HL7
 PATCH 63, DO NOT POINT TO A PRODUCTION DNS! THIS COULD RESULT IN
 TRANSMITTING TEST HL7 MESSAGES TO A SITE'S PRODUCTION SYSTEM.
 The install will test for a HL7 test parameter and not install the
 default DNS address in this case.  PLEASE CHECK.
 ********************************************************************** 
  
 See DBIA# 3056 for documentation on the API's.
  
 There is a entry point for testing: TEST^XLFNSLK
  
 Test Sites:
 ===========
 Oklahoma City, OK
 New Orleans, LA
 Alexandria,VA 
 Amarillo,TX
