As a command?

[j0rdan76]

Yes

I had something like this in the works, but let it drop due to lack of any real use for it. I'll bump the priority up now that I know someone else would like it other than me.

Might I suggest dnspython? I used it for a dnsbl feature in the original Ultros (although it never actually got used, it did work).

As I said, I've already started on something like this. It makes use of the twisted dns lookup stuff, because async is easier/cleaner than having to threadpool everything.

[gdude2002]

Ah, okay, didn't realise Twisted had stuff like that.

It really is a swiss army knife, eh? ._.

Well, the DNS protocol is a pretty one, as is the need to use it. :P

The GeoIP plugin does all of this except for rDNS lookups. It does need some improvements, though.
