This isn't possible on most unix systems.

On some systems (DEC's Ultrix, MIPS RISCos, CDC EP/IX and maybe some other),
there is some way to configure the way the resolver libs does their lookup.
/etc/svcorder, or /etc/vis.conf

But the real solution is to register all of your IP Addresses with a
nameserver!!!
