hi,
I needed some information about how to proceed with implementing a Name
Switch Server plugin that
allows to resolve multicast DNS names using normal libc calls(such as
gethostbyname()).
If someone has knowledge in this regard,please mail me back.
Thank's
With Regards,
Pranav.

I think this will already work as-is. All you should need to do is
register the multicast address in the DNS server.
Have you tried it? Some well-known multicast addresses (like NTP's) are
commonly registered with root servers already.
I haven't tried using "gethostbyame()" on a multicast address that is
registered, but I'm not aware of any checks on the class of the address
in any of the code.
