In Windows 2000, call gethostbyaddr on additional ips returns the name of the first ip.

If someone can show me where I am wrong?

Source Code:

// ws2000.cpp : to demonstrate the bug in Windows 2000
//
// call gethostbyaddr on additional ips returns the name of the first ip.
//
// A machine has more than one ip, each ip has different name in dns server,
// If OS is NT4, this program return:
/*
Hostname: beowolf
ip: 10.178.20.51 name: beowolf.eshare.com
ip: 10.178.20.52 name: beowolf1.eshare.com
ip: 10.178.20.53 name: beowolf2.eshare.com
ip: 10.178.20.54 name: beowolf3.eshare.com
ip: 10.178.20.55 name: beowolf4.eshare.com
Press ang key to continue.....
*/
// It is correct. However,
// If OS is Windows 2000 Server, this program return:
/*
Hostname: beowolf
ip: 10.178.20.51 name: beowolf.eshare.com
ip: 10.178.20.52 name: beowolf.eshare.com
ip: 10.178.20.53 name: beowolf.eshare.com
ip: 10.178.20.54 name: beowolf.eshare.com
ip: 10.178.20.55 name: beowolf.eshare.com
Press ang key to continue.....
