Hello Neil Bothwick!

NB-> > does someone know how to make a dns query via arexx?
NB->
NB-> rxsocket.library has a gethostbyname() function, this is the standard
NB-> was of looking up addresses.

Uhm, obviously i have written not exactly what i mean. Sorry.

I want to query a dns and get information on a domain.
E.g. the MX of a Domain like DiG does but i don`t want to use DiG.
That would be too much overhead for one short query, the problem is
i was reading rfc1035 which describes the format but i don`t get it
(too stupid or whatever) :( rxsocket.lib is okay but i don`t know
what to send.
