Hi,
Sorry this reply is a little late, I've not been
reading this list for
a couple of days and I'm just catching up :)

I've attached dns.ew which contains the function
dns_DNSToIP which
will return the IP address (as a string) of the
domain passed to it.

Example:

include dns.ew
puts(1,dns_DNSToIP("irc.dal.net"))

Hope it's usefull :)

PS: If anyone reading this throught the web
interface wants a copy
let me know and I'll email it to you directly
