Um, no. It works fine for hosts without a PTR record and what you
type is an alias. I even tested it and it works...
[lovely text about gethostbyname() snipped]
This is exactly what I do. Look closely at my patch:
+ if (orighost) {
+ struct hostent *hp_static;
+
+#if defined(SOCKS5) && !defined(HAVE_SOCKS_H)
+ hp_static = Rgethostbyname(orighost);
+#else
+ hp_static = gethostbyname(orighost);
+#endif
+ orighost = NULL;
+ if (hp_static) {
+ remotehost = xstrdup (hp_static->h_name);
+ krb5_free_cred_contents(ssh_context, &creds);
+ retry = 1;
+ continue;
+ }
