converting IP addresses to domains

[mark | r]

ive got a piece of software (perl) that i use to track visitors on my site.
this software displays both ip addresses and domains of visitors

e.g.

A visitor from 81-178-202-110.dsl.pipex.com (81.178.202.110)
arrived without a referring URL,
and visited www.newmediadesigns.co.uk/index.shtml
at 03:01:28 PM on Friday, March 26, 2004.
This visitor used Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1).

what code do i need to display this domain information in asp?

thanks

You need IIS to handle DNS lookups. This is *quite* expensive in terms of
performance, so I would only consider this functionality if you really,
really, really, really, really need it. Start here:

This method's a bit flakey, but it'll work from time to time.

<%
Dim sIP
Dim oShell, oExec, sCommand, sOutput
sIP = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
sCommand = "%comspec% /c @echo off & for /f ""tokens=2"" %q in ('ping -n
1 -a " & sIP & "^|find /i ""pinging""') do echo %q"
Set oShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oExec = oShell.Exec(sCommand)
sOutput = sOutput & oExec.StdOut.ReadAll
Set oExec = Nothing
Set oShell = NOthing
Response.WRite sOutput
%>

Watch for line wrap. This is all one line:

sCommand = "%com....... echo %q"

You could also apply the same logic and use nslookup instead.
