Have had a look at doing this, but it appears that Solaris' nslookup 
returns data over 2 lines if there is more than 4 addresses returned 
(try "nslookup www.ibm.com").

I'll have a go at this change, but only after I can get check_dns to 
use the resolver routines instead of nslookup first. Most of 
check_dns.c looks like it is parsing for error messages in nslookup!
