Why? Well, I'm pretty diligent with DNS, yet I still seem to have old ips creep in there all the time. If I could get a report that said "six year old IP failed to respond" I think it'd be easier to pick out rather than having to open every zone and look at every record. > Seems a bit resource intensive. Nothing like tripping > every norton firewall on the planet as well... Hehe, yeah, definitely an 'advanced' somewhat hidden option would be good. In my perfect imaginary world. It would just try a couple pings to each IP. So if you had multiple A records pointing to a IP it would try to connect to that IP just once. (and then in the report tell you all of the domains that reference the dead IP) Plus, even if your DNS were perfect, it would be a quick way to view your whole network, and you might catch something you forgot to put in whistleblower or something. I dunno, just a idea I had :) > > > jer (jer@mia.net) > > Bella Mia, Inc. > High Speed Wireless - www.dslone.com > Web Hosting and Colocation - www.hostdrive.com > Nation Wide Dialup 4 years and running - www.mia.net > > > > NetZero = What this company will "NET" --- "ZERO" > > > "People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history." ...Governor George W.
