RE: [GD-Windows] DNS server temporary change

[Diogo de A. <Dio...@ne...>]

I agree with that attitude (and have done so in the past)... Getting the
job done is the most important thing... how you get there is (more often
than not) not important...
I was just wondering, since nslookup comes with Windows, if the source
code is available, or if it just uses something in the platform SDK that
might come in handy in this case... if I can't find it, I will use it
(although it sucks having to code some way to get stuff out of standard
output - redirect the stream from my code, maybe?)

Thanks!

I don't know how easy it is to do this from c++ - however one of the
best
things I have learned over the last few years is that not everything
needs
to be "elegant". If nslookup works - I sugest you just use it. It may
feel
dirty, but you will get more work done with this attitude!
I have wasted a lot of time in the past trying to make things "perfect",
when often a simple solution will do just as well.
It is important to remark that the code must still be easily
maintainable
however.
Regards,
Andrew
