dns resolving (getting mx record)

I need to get domain mx record with my program, which is not that easy and I was wondering if there are any boost dns libaries to make things easier? I have found some QDNS (qt) libaries, but im not sure about them.. Does anybody have experience with that? What would be the best approach for you guys?

I don't think there are any DNS boost libraries; search this board for "dns boost" turns up only this thread and searching boost.org for "dns" turns up nothing.

Who said anything about boost?

On windows, you could use DnsQuery: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...s/dnsquery.asp

wTypes:

Code:

---

enum {
        DNS_TYPE_A=1,
        DNS_TYPE_NS,
        DNS_TYPE_MD,
        DNS_TYPE_MF,
        DNS_TYPE_CNAME,
        DNS_TYPE_SOA,
        DNS_TYPE_MB,
        DNS_TYPE_MG,
        DNS_TYPE_MR,
        DNS_TYPE_NULL,
        DNS_TYPE_WKS,
        DNS_TYPE_PTR,
        DNS_TYPE_HINFO,
        DNS_TYPE_MINFO,
        DNS_TYPE_MX,
        DNS_TYPE_TEXT
};

Woops.

Isnt dnsquery bad choice? I thought its slow?

I don't know; but here's another thread on DnsQuery: http://cboard.cprogramming.com/showthread.php?t=49434

There is also sample code that uses DnsQuery.
