Running PHP 5.2 on Linux, I am running a series of queries with dns_get_record(). It would appear from the documentation that this function replicates dig(1) but I am seeing inconsistencies. My goal is to get the primary and secondary nameservers that are authoritative for the domains that each hostname belongs to. dns_get_record('exam...
I'm doing the following to lookup an Internet address. It fails specifically on Solaris machines that have IPv6 nameservers in the resolv.conf. Works fine on Windows machines that have IPv6 nameservers and on IPv4 only Solaris machines. From the error returned it appears that the Java "getAttributes" line is failing internally (somewh...
Hi, I'd like to know if there's any way to force the System.Net.Dns class to resolve hostnames using a set of custom DNS servers instead of using the ones that are associated with the main network connection. I suspect that this is only possible using a custom library like DnDns (http://dndns.codeplex.com), but I was hoping this could ...
How does Windows resolv DNS and how can I intercept the calls, in order to inject my own domains? I need this in an application, and running my own DNS server or modifying the hosts file is not a solution. ...
I have a Windows 2003 DNS server that forwards on to OpenDNS. I want to set it up so that when someone requests dev.mydomain.com instead of requesting the IP from OpenDNS it returns a local IP address. The reason I want to do this is because I have a local dev server called dev locally and dev.mydomain externally. I'd like it if I'm in...

This configuration also has to support SSL. ...
Let's say there is a page with 100 different user photo's shown on the page, that is at least 100 DNS lookups right there, would this be reduced if I were to link using the an IP instead of a domain url? http://217.345.33.444/images/photo.jpg instead of http://domain.com/images/photo.jpg ...

Is there a way to check if my domain is setup correctly on the nameservers? Ideally I'd like to run a command from command line, alternatively can use a third party tool. for example, I'm trying to register a domain that's to be hosted on godaddy.com. I have set up the domain and can see it in my DNS list. The servers that are supposed ...
I have a WCF client and service using HTTPS over the wsHttpBinding. One common setup has the client and server components on the same machine. The client has to set the endpoint address to include the server's machine name, rather than localhost for SSL reasons i.e. https://mymachine/myservice/service.svc The problem is, that the defau...
Right now, my application is using the c-ares asynchronous DNS resolver library on Windows below cURL, and I have users complaining that it behaves differently from other windows apps. One particular user said that "other applications are using the Microsoft DNS client" and experiences no problems. cURL itself has an asynchronous DNS im...

I find myself with a need for a java utility for taking a fully-qualified hostname, and producing the domain name from that. In the simple case, that means turning host.company.com into company.com, but this gets rapidly more complicated with host.subdomain.company.com, for example, or host.company.co.uk, where the meaning of "domain n...
Hi there When I use dns_get_record within a php script to get a list of DNS records for a domain, a list of records are returned. But then if I run the script again it does not return all of the same results(ie it just returns the name servers) then if I run it again it works etc. This is the code I am using: $result = dns_get_record...
Hello, I'm essentially trying to make a DNS proxy application using Qt4. If I set my DNS nameserver to 'localhost' then I want to forward all DNS requests to the server specified in the remoteSocket object. Everything seems to be working fine except sending the data from the remoteSocket object back to the localSocket object which is ...
