VB6 Lookup Hostname From IP, Specifying DNS Server
I know how to look up a hostname from an IPv4 in VB using the GetHostByAddr Windows API call (this works great). However, that function does not allow one to specify the DNS server to use. Sometimes the default company DNS servers are fine, but other times I need to specify an external DNS server for lookups, and I don't think doing a sh...

They update an root DNS and set there IP of my DNS? 2) How come the registrar can update records in the root DNS? How did they get this priviledge? How could I get this priviledge too? 3) What exactly we pay the regi...
Tell urllib2 to use custom DNS
I'd like to tell urllib2.urlopen (or a custom opener) to use 127.0.0.1 (or ::1) to resolve addresses. I wouldn't change my /etc/resolv.conf, however. One possible solution is to use a tool like dnspython to query addresses and httplib to build a custom url opener. I'd prefer telling urlopen to use a custom nameserver though. Any suggest...
PHP - same server, different domains require different sessions.
Hello, I'm implementing login and registration for multiple domains that talk to a single database - we'll call them i.domain-a.com and i.domain-b.com. Both these subdomains have A records in the DNS that point to a single server - thus making i.domain-a.com/hello.php and i.domain-b.com/hello.php run the same thing. So, if I create a s...

Ruby on Rails user generated subdomains - do I need a Dedicated Virtual Host?
I'm successfully running subdomains on my mac OSX as outlined by Robby on Rails. I'd like to follow the example code below but I have no idea where to start. How do you edit a DNS setup?

What would be the best way of achieving a redirect from, lets say site.com to www.site.com on a windows server? I have access to the dns server also, if anything could be done there to help it along.

cakephp uses old dns entry
Hi, In our cakephp application, we do a file_get_contents('http://my.web.com',... ); Recently we changed the ip address of my.web.com, and we modified our /etc/hosts file, and flush dns cache using /etc/init.d/nscd restart, and restarted apache. However, file_get_contents still refer to the old ip address, while if we do ping, nsl...

Best way to resolve a DNS TXT record on Linux/Unix/Posix/BSD type systems?
I want to write some portable (as possible) C code to look up DNS TXT records. I would also prefer not to have dependencies on libraries that don't ship with the machine. What is the best way to do this on Unix-like machines using standard libraries? I found some sample code that works using libresolv, but it's not reentrant (not threa...
