Albert,
	I get the following errors whether I use host or IP addressing. I'm
waiting to set-up a test system to play around with a full debug version.
Rsync-2.4.6 works OK but this has a very different socket.c


metis{~syr/rsync}198 %rsync_AIX -q -W --address=metis --timeout=1 --port=10873
catenv frodo::myftp/
rsync: getaddrinfo: frodo 10873: Host not found
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(84)
metis{~syr/rsync}199 %ypcat hosts | grep frodo
136.156.194.129  frodo
metis{~syr/rsync}200 %rsync_AIX -q -W --address=metis --timeout=1 --port=10873
catenv 136.156.194.129::myftp/
rsync: getaddrinfo: 136.156.194.129 10873: Host not found
