(Ovid) Re(2): Extracting domain names from FQDNs

I've looked into that, but response time is a factor here. Whois is slow enough for the international domains that incrementally testing something like www.cs.flinders.edu.au becomes an issue. Thanks for the comment, though!

Cheers,

Ovid, If speed is an issue, why not fork off some children, and search for all variations at once? Assume you the minimal is a domain.TLD, so www.cs.flinder.edu.au would give you: `www.cs.flinder.edu.au cs.flinder.edu.au flinder.edu.au edu.au` [download] You can further optimize this by taking a listing of non-foreign TLDs (.com, .net, .edu, .mil, .org, etc) and only running this if your domain does not end in one of these. Not a real solution, but perhaps a workaround. =Blue ...you might be eaten by a grue...	[reply] [d/l]
