Thanks in advance. Here's one way to do an endless set of lookups. If you have a list of names and/or IP addresses in "namelist.txt": -- #!/bin/sh while true do for name in `cat namelist.txt` do nslookup $name done done -- The Net::DNS module for Perl is also very useful for scripting this kind of task.
