MacTCP supports the following domain name queries A and IN-ADDR queries.  
Additionally MacTCP also makes use of the NS and CNAME records. Future 
versions of MacTCP will provide additional support for HINFO and MX 
queries and maybe even a generalized method of sending arbitrary queries.  
For a complete description of how the domain name resolver in MacTCP works 
(technical details) interested parties should read the MacTCP programmers 
guide  and the MacTCP administrators guide both of these are available 
through APDA (Apple Programmers Developer's Association).

Questions, comments??
