Re: [boost] Late asio review

Using gethostbyname on Windows, for example, also resolves NetBIOS names, and asio should provide identical behaviour to the platform's own host resolution functions.

Please take note that the gethostbyname function has been deprecated by the introduction of the getaddrinfo function on the Windows platform! I have not checked into your code, but what is Asio's default mechanism for resolving hostnames - will it spawn and asynchronously use a new thread or will it resolve the hostname synchronously in main thread? /Tompa
