Not to my knowledge. The netdb and resolve units contain some resolving logic. Patches to implement this kind of functionality are definitely welcome.

Most definitely welcome. I've hacked around with this sort of thing a bit- sliding subnet masks around to try to find responding UDP systems the other side of a router- and it was unpleasant, particularly when it had to work on both little- and big-endian systems.
