Sorry for the top-post. What I want to do is the following


	self.transport.write(data,('www.foobar.com',6000))

I think that says it succinctly.

As I see it I need to do some things with defer and reactor.resolve() or 
use socket.getaddrinfo() or socket.gethostbyname() and deal with the 
possible blocking nature of these calls.

As I said in my follow-on post I see the implementation of resolve() in 
the posix reactor support and wonder about the two methods I see there: 
the blocking one and the thread one. How do I get to decide which is used.

Finally is there some, unknown to me, way to already deal with this issue?

Peace,
Chaz.
