Hi guys,

Question:
I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to find the reverse IP/DNS 
address of a computer please?

Reason:
I ask this because I wish to produce a 'ban' list of users on a forum who 
persistantly cause problems, banning specific IPs is an option, but at the 
moment is not effective because the IP address of one specific user changes, 
they have a dynamic IP which means they are either using Dial-Up, or 
specifically paying with their ISP to have their IP refreshed every computer 
log-in (or Internet box reset).

IT's all well and good using $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]; to help use as a "ban" 
function, but if the IP keeps moving all the time, it isn't working. So we need 
to result to a Reverse DNS which doesn't change, it remains the same.

Question:
Is there a way of finding the Reverse DNS address through PHP please?

Thanks for you
