gethostbyname() should return all of them.   The hostent.h_addr_list is 
a NULL-terminated array containing all the addresses.  If you're using 
hostent.h_addr, that's a macro that just refers to the first element of 
the array, for backward compatibility with the original design of 
gethostbyname(), which only returned one address.
