Subject: How to get TEXT name for IP address on internet
via command line. - msg#00629

List: network.dns.bind.user

I am in the process of writing a small script to analise access to our
internet site - logs.
I can extract the data well enough but a list of visiting IP addresses is
not wholly useful.
I would like, much like the NT TRACERT command to be able to use a command
to translae the IP address to a text representation. ( I don't need the
route )
To date I have not found a practical way of doing this !

Suggestions !

Weird problem help?

Ok when I dig the domain that handles DNS for my other domains I get this on BIND 9.2.1 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;ns.blah.net. IN A ;; ANSWER SECTION: ns.blah.net. 18220 IN A 67.x.x.26 ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: blah.net. 37957 IN NS ns1.blah.net. blah.net. 37957 IN NS ns.blah.net. ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ns.blah.net. 37957 IN A 67.x.x.26 ns1.blah.net. 37739 IN A 67.x.x.27 I am awaiting a new T1 and since wanted a new domain to handle DNS for all the domains handled. I mirrored the records file from blah domain and changed accordingly when I dig ns.blahnew.net I get this??? ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> ns.rackspeed.net ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 35589 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;ns.blahnew.net.

Why it would do this right now I am limited to 1 IP until T1 is installed then I will have full 64 IP's. All the other domains seem to dig correctly for correct domain names please email me off list as I dont want to broadcast. I love this Newsgroup it has helped me alot!! -- Thanks, Eric Haskins Eric Haskins Consulting A+,Linux+,CCNA,MCSE NT4
