If you want to create new DNS records from your ASP.net site, you have to
come up with a way to update your DNS Server configuration. There is no
generic answer to that question; everything depends on how your DNS server
can be configured. If it's running on a different box (and perhaps a unix
platform?), you have to communicate your requests that way. HTTP or SOAP
might be good alternatives. But anyway, everything starts not from ASP.net,
but from the DNS server end. How do you manually add DNS records? Can this
approach be simulated programmatically?

Servers / Windows 2003). Normaly I Mange this Servers with Microsofts DNS
MMC.

Hello

I think one possible sulution can be the use of dnscmd.cmd with the
parameter /recordadd (From the Windows Server Support Tools).
This works fine from a local commend window on the Webserver. But I don't
have any idea, how I can run this tool from a ASP.Net Site.
Does anybody know a simple solution to run this Tool (with command line
arguments)?

<%@ import namespace="System.Net" %>

<%@ import namespace="System.Net.Sockets" %>



dim dnsstr as string

dim subs as string

dim edns as string

if isvalid then

edns= email.text' this is the email textbox

subs=edns.substring(edns.indexof("@")+1)

dnsstr= dns.resolve(subs).addresslist(0).tostring()

have fun

Try System.Diagnostics.Process class and its Start() method.
