I don't think so. It is only a small extension to the functionality we have already. If there would be more functionality to add during the next release cycle i would agree to move this to a new extension. But let's here the others.

It's only 2 functions for now, IMO it doesn't warrant a new extention yet.

Actually - I think it should be PHP_API'd. Any extension needing DNS lookups doesn't have to rewrite it's own routine then. Especially now that you can get any record type, I can see the usefullness. And of course a central place for all those different implemenations to maintain. Makes sense to me... Derick

The first step should be making it a woring function with an agreed prototype and behaviour. I guess we would need some new datatype definitions to make this happen. So this would require some more work not needed directly. I made a new version which allows the use of a bitmask for the type parameter as suggested by Derick. You can now do dns_get_resord(...,DNS_ANY) dns_get_resord(...,DNS_ALL) dns_get_resord(...,DNS_MX) dns_get_resord(...,DNS_MX|DNS_SOA|...) DNS_ANY|DNS_xxx is not allowed. http://marcus-boerger.de/dns_get_record.diff marcus
