Hi Rob,
 
QtocRtvTCPA API seems to be my preferred solution.
 
Thanks,

Keep in mind that you can have multiple interfaces (IP Addresses) on your 
i.  I have over a dozen.  See NETSTAT.  See also

See also host name in TCPA0300 Format at 
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v6r1m0/topic/apis/qtocrtvtcpa.htm
TCPA0300        TCP/IPv4 domain attributes in addition to TCP/IPv4 stack 
status. See TCPA0100 Format and TCPA0300 Format for details on the format.

And if you're clever at program stack messages...

  Verifying connection to host system hostname.domainname at address 
10.10.1.211.
  Round-trip (in milliseconds) min/avg/max = 0/0/0. 
  Connection verification statistics: 5 of 5 successful (100 %). 
You can find out what your host table, or DNS, thinks the IP address for 
that host.domain should be.
