[fpc-pascal] unit inet... for resolving dns

[Lionel Drevon]

ok after a long read inside the rfc  actually it seem that
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2317
the rfc 2317 specify that the in-addr.arpa can be a CNAME in case of Classless IN-ADDR.ARPA delegation. less than a /24....

so the answer could be a CNAME not only a PTR.

I need to correct the Function ResolveAddressAt in the netbd.pp to be rfc2317 compliant.
