Reverse DNS Lookup

I can't get Reverse DNS Lookup to work. I assume that it must be disabled on the discountasp servers. Is there any chance of this feature being enabled?

 

I use the syntax Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST")

It gives an IP address, rather than a DNS lookup.

See http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q245/5/74.ASP

 

I know bruce says in this thread that this feature is disabled, but it seems to be working for me.

Here is my code:

<%
Set DNSLook = Server.CreateObject("AspDNS.Lookup")
strRes = DNSLook.ReverseDNSLookup ("someIP")
%>
Your Domain: <% =strRes %></font id="maroon">

Thanks - I'll try using that syntax

 

You can see it in action at the bottom of my web pages at www.hossweb.com. This is using the exact code I posted except that I have Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST") in place of "SomeIP".

It works perfectly - thanks

 

How can I translate:

Set DNSLook = Server.CreateObject("AspDNS.Lookup")
strRes = DNSLook.ReverseDNSLookup(Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST"))

---------------

to asp.NET

I cant figure it out.. have been trying for a while now [|)]

This functionality is actually built into .NET. Here is one way to do this:

string sRemoteHostName = Dns.Resolve(Request.UserHostAddress).HostName;
Response.Write(sRemoteHostName);
