Re: New C functions for Nessus 2.2?

Hi Michel,

I dunno how this fits with your design, but how about a function to do 
regular DNS lookups (i.e. through the nessus host's configured 
resolver). That would enable the following:

1) a plugin that determines if the domain name resolves uniquely to the 
ip address and sets a kb flag
2) plugins that have URLs in their output decide whether to use domain 
name or ip address based on the kb flag

Also, I think someone mentioned some time of day function would be 
helpful. Perhaps you have already addresses that.

Regards.

Paul
