The /dns command resolves an address. If mIRC sees a "." in the name you specify it assumes it is an address and tries to resolve it. Otherwise it assumes it is a nickname and performs a /userhost to find the user's address and then resolves it. If you specify an IP address, it looks up the host name. You can queue multiple /dns requests, and you can view the current queue by using /dns with no parameters.
Synopsis
/dns [-46ch] [nick|address]
Switches
- -4 - allows IPv4 results to be returned
- -6 - allows IPv6 results to be returned
- -c - clears all currently queued DNS requests, except for the one currently in progress
- -h - forces /dns to treat the parameter as a hostname
Parameters
- [nick|address] - the nick or address you want to look up
Example
;using default setting for ipv6 /dns Ouims ;specifically allowing for ipv4 results /dns -4 Ouims ;specifically allowing for ipv6 results /dns -6 Ouims ;both /dns -46 Ouims ; beginning v7.58 returns all resolved IP addresses instead of only the 1st, such as for IRC network's round-robin name /dns chat.freenode.net
