ID: 43536 Comment by: php at kriegt dot es Reported by: marc at perkel dot com Summary: Specifying a nameserver for DNS requests Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Feature/Change Request Operating System: all PHP Version: 5.2.5 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Wondering why no one voting for this feature request. Imho this is a feature which is really missing from all those network features that PHP gives us. This request is going to get 6 year old. Imho we should start to think about what is usefull and what is trash. Imho trash features are possibilities for brackets while defining an array: $foo = [ 1, 2, 3 ]; A usefull feature would be this which was request in 2007. Please think about it since perl or other languages are able to query specific nameservers: http://www.net-dns.org/docs/Net/DNS/Resolver.html http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/resolv/rdoc/Resolv/DNS.html ... Those PEAR packages which are fossiles in PHP history (sorry but these PHP 4 compatibility is pretty odd) can query specific nameservers, but tbh - I would never use PEAR packages since the performance of that code is horrible. Hopefully this feature will find its way to a new PHP Version.

That way if you are writing a diagnostic tool to test name server configurations it will work correctly. Would like to be able to write what DNSstuff does in PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43536&edit=1
