RE: [PHP] gethostbyaddr timeout

Your best bet would be to do this in another language such as perl or c where you can build a multithreaded application to look these up. Along the same note you can also split the file into a number of parts and run multiple instances of the same script. Afaik, the only way to decrease the timeout on a host lookup is to write your own nameserver query code. If all of this is outside of the scope of your programming knowledge, I would suggest biting the bullet and waiting for your script to complete. Then make a system to process new entries into the system when they are received. Also...why do you need to do this? It seems very odd.

I have a 100,000+ line file containing IP addresses. For each line, I need to run a "gethostbyaddr" command. However, some lines take a long time to timeout. Is there a way I can decrease this timeout period to one or two seconds?
