The new version of Net_DNS2 is now available from the PEAR website.
This release fixes a small bug in the size calculation for TCP packets, and adds support for the WKS resource record.
Get it here.
This Mr.DNS release includes support for the AAAA (IPv6) record, the LOC record (for storing geo-location information in DNS)
and all the DNSSEC resource records (DNSKEY, RRSIG, NSEC, DS, NSEC3 and NSEC3PARAM).
This release is also the first release to us our new Net_DNS2 PEAR module. This module is significantly faster than the Net_DNS module, using new PHP5 constructs, exceptions, and includes many more RR’s.
Net_DNS2 is available for download from the Google Code page, and soon from the PEAR site and command line PEAR installer.
I’ve released a new version of the Mr.DNS Network Tools website.
This release just has one new feature – “Website Neighbors”; this gives you a comprensive list of all the websites hosted on the same IP address as the IP address or hostname provided.
Hosting hundreds if not thousands of sites, on a single IP address is fairly common practice for shared web hosting providers- there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it, but this gives you a good idea of how many, and what sites are hosted on the same system as your website.
This list is never 100% complete, but it will give you a fairly accurate estimate.
