Hi Folks,

I have a need to "walk" a DNS Domain, searching for specific
record types within the DNS. At first this sounded reasonably easy, start
at the Domain root, grab the Zone file, extract all NS records for each
child Domain, then in turn, grab those domain files looking for what I
need. Repeat until the entire Domain is searched.

The "problem" I have is that I can't find a way to select records
by TYPE without resorting to external (IE non-REXX) utilities. In fact
SockGetHostByName() (or any other related Sockets call) does not appear to
allow for accessing individual record types other than A records. How about
locating AAAA or MX records?

Have I missed something here folks?

Cheers........................pk.
