While testing the dynamic update feature of BIND/iX, I discovered another
POSIX smoothing issue.  Because of it, datagram updates don't work right.

The BIND function res_send() attempts to connect() and send() to a datagram
socket, something that is documented as unimplemented for MPE.  connect() and
send() should be enhanced to operate against datagram sockets in addition to
stream sockets.

I am in the process of testing a workaround.  Because res_send() is one of
the major functions called all over the place in BIND, this may impact other
things besides dynamic update.

I also need to search for other connect() calls that reference datagrams....
