The normal high-level C resolver routines (getaddrinfo/getnameinfo, or even the old gethostbyname series), don't expose any way to do that. You have to dig quite far down in the resolver library stack to get to the point where you can do that. The concept of not knowing or caring which specific server has the data you need is quite deeply baked into the basic DNS architecture. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
