Well it has sort of, I use two components optimized for each sets of 
operating systems, one that uses its own dns querying engine and 
another which uses a dns api which is built into win2k and xp. That is 
the only real way ive found to do SRV lookups in 98SE (to use a dns 
lookup engine, since there is no api that i know of).
