I have a application with dynamic subdomains that should be redirected to different servers depending on a part of the subdomain. Example (anything means whateveryouwant, a dynamic name): example.com --> server1 anything.example.com --> server1 a.example.com --> server2 b.example.com --> server1 a.anything.example.com --> server2 b.any...
I have a Windows server that is intermittently losing the ability to lookup DNS information. I'm trying to get to the root cause of the problem but in the mean time I'd like to be able to monitor whether the server can perform lookups. Basically, it should attempt to lookup some common hostnames and the display 'Success' if the lookups...

Is there a built in (to the .net framework) class or function to resolve a SRV entry to the corresponding records? IE: _dmsc._tcp.network.local to an array of information (host, port, weight, priority) ...
How do I get similar functionality to the host command using a c api (or any other language for that matter)? I need more information than just an IP address given by gethostbyname(); specifically, the SMTP-related data. ...
Hi guys, i know almost anything about sub-domains and dns records. i have heard about them and i know just the basics.

Something which doesn't rely on native libraries would be even more better. ...
This is on a handheld connected to my computer via USB, using the Compact Framework: When I call Dns.GetHostEntry("") or Dns.GetHostEntry(IPAddress.Loopback) to get the IPAddresses of the handheld, I get the IPAddresses of my host computer. But when I send a packet from the handheld to my computer, they come from a different address. ...
Hi Basically I bought a domain through a (cheap!) domain company and I want this domain to point to a folder on the server. The story I originally bought www.domain.com along with hosting A few months down the line I bought www.domain2.com I want www.domain2.com to point ------> to www.domain.com/folder How do I do this? can it be ...
Hi all, I was wondering if it's possible to dynamically add subdomains that point to dynamic IP addresses, and how I would go about doing that? In other words, "how is dyndns/no-ip implemented" :-)? (The part I don't get is adding/changing the DNS entries... I understand how the client sends a packet every few minutes -___-). I can tell...
i have a linux client which uses pppoe to connect to the internet and everytime this client comes online I wanna bind his ipadress to a subdomain. dyndns is not an option due to their TTL. It looks like i have to setup my own nameserver on my root server to accomplish this task because I cannot create the keys needed to run an nsupdate o...
One of my rails apps (using passenger and apache) is changing server hosts. I've got the app running on both servers (the new one in testing) and the DNS TTL to 5 minutes. I've been told (and experienced something like this myself) by a colleague that sometimes DNS resolvers slightly ignore the TTL and may have the old IP cached for some...
Can a DNS lookup be made with AS3? ...
I am working on a webapp that we acquired from another company. When you "sign up", the server is supposed to create a DNS alias using WMI. It was crashing with a "Generic Error", which was later cured by adding the following tag to the Web.config file: identity impersonate="true" userName="administrator" password="theadminpass" This w...
We want to switch hosting providers. To do so will require a DNS update for the IP address associated with our domain. Content has been tested and brought up on the new server. The DNS update has been made but users are not able to see the new site until the DNS propagates (which could be days). Is there a something that can be done o...
We use GSLB for geo-distribution and load-balancing. Each service is assigned a fixed domain name. Through some DNS magic, the domain name is resolved into an IP that's closest to the server with least load. For the load-balancing to work, the application server needs to honor the TTL from DNS response and to resolve the domain name agai...
Hey, I've just started developing Android applications. I'm having a little problem with networking.
