I am migrating a website from a UNIX based machine to an Windows machine. In the logfiles I got from the old machine I mostly got domain names and sometimes only IP addresses. The Windows machine seems to produce only IP addresses.
Somehow I cannot find a windows solution to translate an IP address back into a domain-name. Searching with Google shows that more people have been wrestling with this problem. I did find working whois scripts, but unfortunately: - the verbose whois registrar information often forbids automated access - the information is rather distributed, so you have to somehow access sufficient servers - you still have to find the domain name in the sea of details returned I also found socket based solutions, but these solutions crash with the message "host not found" :-( Anyone suggestions? kind regards, Gerrit -- Gaudi systems architecting: <http://www.extra.research.philips.com/natlab/sysarch/> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
