Please tell me that you plan to incorporate the IRS system, not just
for host lookups but for getpwent, getgrent and friends as well. Please.
Pretty please. With sugar on top. I'll be your best friend. :)

This would not only let us get rid of /etc/host.conf, it would give
me everything I need to drop NIS+ into the system (well, I'd have to
write some NIS+ IRS modules, but that's much less of a pain than
merging IRS with libc in the first place).

PS: I presume you preserved the __dns_getanswer() hack for ypserv, yes?
