Thanks for the pointer, I will look into the
package.  If I can get it to work I will submit an alternative.  I notice on
the cpan docs that under bugs is listed:
                                Net::DNS is slow. 

                                Anyways I will try get my head around it and
test it.  

                                Regards
                                Anthony

                                I'm leery of anything that requires signal
handling, especially
                                SIGALRM.

                                I believe the Perl module Net::DNS has
functions for doing timed-out DNS
                                lookups using select(), and I'd be happier
with those.

                                Regards,

                                David.
