In my rails app i do a nslookup using a ruby library resolv. If the site like dgdfgdfgdfg.com is entered its talking too long to resolve. in some instance like 20 sec.(mostly for non-existent sites) Because it cause the application to slowdown. So i though of introducing a timeout period for the dns lookup. What will be the ideal timeo...
Hi, I've 2 machines with names Comp1, Comp2. There is a DNS name for them, that mask them as one, let say DNSName. I get IP addresses for both machines via Dns.GetHostEntry("DNSName"). But when I try get Dns.GetHostEntry(ipAddress) entry.HostName always contains DNSName. I found some way to get name through WMI. But our policy doesn't al...
Background: I've setup a site on Squarespace, got a domain on domain.com, used domain.com's DNS manager to create CNAME for squarespace (like they recommend). I changed the nameservers yesterday to slicehost (a failed experiment) and back to domain.com's tonight. Now when I run a dig, I get the following: ; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>>...
I just upgraded one of my many blogs to Wordpress 3.0 and I was glad to see that I now should be able to run all my blogs from a central installation. I have the multisite stuff configured and up and running, and can create new blogs as I wish. My host is set up to handle wildcard subdomains, but I'd like to map my already existing, ...

My issue is that I am wanting www.mydomain.com to go directly to my new application, instead of needing to go to web2py.mydomain.com/MyApp/Default. What is the best way to solve this issue? Do I use DNS redirects ...

However, I'm having some issues adding 'www' to the domain variable. I would like to add an A Record lookup for www.domain.com. How do I add the www? <?php $domain = $_POST["Domain"]; $dns = d...

Hi, Does anyone know of an online service (similar to the ones that tell you if a site is up or down) that can connect to a specified mail server and perform checks to see if it is configured correctly? If not, does anyone know exactly what these checks should be? (https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/about/email gives an interesting stan...

Is it possible (on Windows) to simulate a "per-process" hosts file? Or, is it a feature of any current web browser to be able to customise the DNS mapping? Edit: For example, a side-by-side test lab scenario simulating a future DNS change. It would be neat to avoid having to use two separate computers! ...
Hi all, I have question. Let's assume that I have API which allows me to add dynamically add DNS records. Now, I would like to run simple application on Tomcat and put Apache in front of it, so that any domain added to DNS pointing on this Apache would be served by application running. I read a bit about Dynamically Configured Mass Virt...

I've gotten reports from several different users now that they get 127.0.0.1 for our hostname when ...

Hi, I am trying to programmatically test if a given domain name exists. The following line of code works as expected: IPHostEntry IPhst =Dns.GetHostEntry("google.com"); But it fails for some few domains on the very same host at the very same time. For example, the following throws an exception. IPHostEntry IPhst =Dns.GetHostEntry...
The glue record provider redirects "platform.domain.com to my DNS server. Now that I have dynamic control over this domain, I'm trying to forward all requests for this domain to to eu.loadbalancer.domain.com (a health check and server monitor) - so the user is redirected to a healthy and available server. Because I can't resolve eu.loa...
