I don't think so. You need gethostbyname() to get the address from the
host name. And you need to call gethostbyname() for each entry in your

DNSallow was only a sample page name. The recipe page is
Cookbook/DNSauth.
I don't understand what you want to express by "Perhaps the DNSallow
recipe can use a similar approach".
