Hi,
what is the function to resolve the dns name of a site (similar to nslookup) ?
I 'm looking for a script to obtain the IP address from a name server.
BR,

Hi,
I've tried suggested code but it returns only single IP for a domain. Is there a way to get all resolved IPs for a given name?
also how resource intensive for LM is to resolve dozens (double digit number) names in a script? or it's best to offload this task to another platform?

There's no way of getting all IP addresses for a given host. Why do you need to get all? If some kind of load balancing is used then the list is not static and can change over time.
DNS requests are very lightweight and should not cause high load. You can put a small delay between them so there are no CPU load spikes.

You can run nslookup via os.execute().

Yes but I doubt that you need to execute them all the time.
