+	* Removed BIND define and replaced it with a check for
+	gethostbyname (to determine if the host is DNS aware) and a
+	check for sethostent. This appears to be the right thing to
+	do, but there is no explanation of the reasoning behind the
+	BIND define in the code and it appears to have been used for
+	multiple purposes.
