But I get the general impression that google can often provide some help (although sometimes it can be a PITA to work out *what* search terms you need. OTOH, I suppose you aren't allowed to google for solutions ;-) If that is true, you really need to get that restriction removed. For perl, Net-DNS looks like the module you probably need : go to search.cpan.org (if you are allowed to do that) and look for it - maybe I'm wrong and the examples (i.e. example uses) listed on the summary page are not what you're trying to do with dns lookup.
