here below is the structure defined for your reference
---------------------------------------------------------------
typedef struct ip_addr {
union {

} u_addr;

here below is the API that is being called
---------------------------------------------------------------
const ip_addr_t *dns_getserver(u8_t numdns)
{
if (numdns < DNS_MAX_SERVERS) {
return &dns_servers[numdns];
} else {
return IP_ADDR_ANY;
