I see that in dns.hh endianness is detected by arch, and __sun or __sparc
(or some variant) should be detected to configure the dnsheader struct
appropriately.  Also, the id (query identification number) is the first word
regardless of endian in that file.  Unless that's incorrect, my suspicions
are more along the lines of miscast references to the message id (which
should be uint16_t everywhere AFAIK?) or bad alignment assumptions.
