No problem :)

I don't know of any and I wouldn't know which IP to choose if there
were multiple.

In short:

struct hostent *hostent;
hostent = gethostbyname (char *hostname);
if (hostent) {
        for (i = 0; hostent->h_addr_list[i]; i++)
		printf ("%s, ", hostent->h_addr_list[i]);
	printf ("\n");
}
