    Re: Creating A DNS Server

    My first thought is that VB isn't an appropriate tool for such a thing. However, not knowing anything about how a DNS is implemented, I'd expect that its simply a TCP/IP or UDP server using a specific protocol on a specific port.

    So it sound like you have the TCP/IP server sorted, you just need to get the protocol correct.

    (I may be way off, as you'd usually just setup a computer as a DNS server - no point in reinventing the wheel, here, and doesn't serve much purpose to do so)
