I think the answer is "Not Yet".  From the 3.0.4 netdb.h:

	struct	hostent {
		char	*h_name;	/* official name of host */
		char	**h_aliases;	/* alias list */
		int	h_addrtype;	/* host address type */
		int	h_length;	/* length of address */
	#ifdef notyet
		char	**h_addr_list;	/* list of addresses from name server */
	#define	h_addr	h_addr_list[0]	/* address, for backward compatiblity */
	#else
		char	*h_addr;	/* address */
	#endif notyet
	};

We brought up BIND 4.8 under 3.0.4 without any trouble.  However,
one needs DYNIX sources to relink the utilities with the resolver.

I really hope the next DYNIX release supports the nameserver; the static
host table routines aren't terribly useful these days.
