Getting DNS requests via Winsock

[kliew]

How can we perform a function similar to nslookup using
the winsock controls? I'd like to check whether a few
DNS servers are alive by periodically pointing requests to
them and checking whether any response is received.

I don't wish to use the GetHostByName function which
only uses the DNS servers defined by the PC's IP setting.

Thanks very much in advance.
