res = Net::DNS::Resolver.new res.nameserver = '......' result = res.query(domain, Net::DNS::SOA) or even (if I understand the docs right) return Net::DNS::Resolver.new(:nameservers => '....').query(domain, Net::DNA::SOA).answer HTH, Jeffrey --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
