[JDEV] DNS problems on Cygwin with Jabber 1.4.2 - can't add remote buddies

I'm having a problem with Jabber on Cygwin that should be pretty easy to
sort out, as either everyone's having the same problem, or I'm missing
an obvious step.  DNS queries always fail (XP + w2k3), so I can't add
non-local buddies.  Btw, jabadns.exe is in the path, the server looks
fine otherwise, and I have it running problem free on FreeBSD and Linux.
Does anyone know of a fix for this problem?  If not, could you guess
what areas of the dnsrv code I should look at to save me a bit of debug
time?

Example error: "20030728T00:23:58: [notice] (jabber.org): bouncing a
packet to swbrown at jabber.org from swbrown at fictition.variadic.org:
Hostname Resolution Timeout".
