[GemStone-Smalltalk] DNS problematic

[dario.trussardi65]

Ciao,

	i have a gemstone 3.4.2 run on Ubuntu system.

	Sometime the internet connection is down or the provider's DNS server don't answer.

	In these cases when i do,  from tode shell,  the command:

		GsSocket getHostAddressByName: 'www.gemtalksystems.com'.

			the tode shell is blocked for 100 seconds.

	After the tode report:

ArgumentError: getaddrinfo failed, EAI error -3, Errore temporaneo nella risoluzione del nome, 
--------------------
1. ArgumentError(AbstractException)>>_signalFromPrimitive: @6 line 15
2. GsSocket class>>_twoArgClassPrim:with:with: @1 line 1

16. TDWorkspaceClientElementBuilder(ExecBlock)>>value:value:value:value:value: @2 line 11
17. GsNMethod class>>_gsReturnToC @1 line 

I think same problem from relative gem execution.

	How i can manage this problematic ?

	I can define a relative timeout ?

Same problematic into Pharo ( report into Pharo-user mailing list on 10 April ).


Other question:

	when the dns works the system replies a string like:	'::ffff:138.197.233.120'

	how i can, which is the best way, to translate it to Ipv4 ?

Thanks,

	Dario
