I'm afraid I wouldn't be much help with this one in that case. I have a 
vague recollection of gethostbyname() crashing for someone else, though. I 
thought it had something to do with the ServerName directive and/or an entry 
in /etc/hosts -- but unfortunately I don't recall the specifics and my 
Google-fu seems to be failing me this morning.
