OK.

Maybe there are better solutions. In fact there are. It's not like I didn't want to help, or anything. I'm just saying. That's all. Making DNS queries is just fine. It's how you find things on the interweb. But there are "rules of engagement". Where your own safety, is concerned. You're going to have to learn, or find some way to "sanitize" your input fields. So, others can't poison them with data, you don't want in them.

Sure, any one of us could cobble up the entire script -- subs, routines, functions, and forms. But that's a bit much to ask. Don't you think?

See if you can find something that kind of makes sense to you. Then try to work it out. If you get into trouble. Come, and ask. Show us what you got, and what you've tried, and what went wrong. Then any one of would surely be ready to lend a hand. Sounds about right. Doesn't it?

We all had to learn Perl. That's what this is all about. :)

Best wishes.
