The IP address uniquely identifies a network node. The node name is a convenience and an address-name association must be defined somewhere (in name server, local hosts file, etc.). Domains partition the namespace and allow distribution of services; e.g., each domain has a name server which are heirarchically invoked when resolving a name, as opposed to a single network-wide name server. --------------- The purpose of my script is to determine if an IP is listed in the Spamhaus DNS blacklist. If an IP is blacklisted, there will be an A record in Spamhaus's dns servers for [reversed ip].sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org. i.e. 58.74.125.200.sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org Will return: 58.74.125.200.sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org. 3600 IN A 127.0.0.4 58.74.125.200.sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org. 3600 IN TXT "http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=200.125.74.58"; - Chris _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
