The gethostbyname() API will use the host table and/or DNS to convert a host name into an IP address. There's an RPG example on my web site:

Is there any way to have an RPG program do DNS resolution and turn an
name into an IP address and do the reverse and turn an IP address
into a name? What I really want to do right now is turn an ip
address into a name but the name to IP could be handy also. I could
probably use a web service from RPG but would prefer something local
on the iSeries like an API into the IBM DNS. I looked but could not
find anything on the API side.
