Obtain nameserver information for DNS lookups in Java

Question

If I look up a IP address from a DNS name as follows:

InetAddress inetAddress = InetAddress.getByName(name);
String address = inetAddress.getHostAddress();

Can I find out which nameserver gave me the information?

Answer 1

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but there's a DNSJava library which provides DNS functionality in Java. Perhaps you can use this to either get a better understanding of your issues, or to implement a particular solution ? Like I say, not a perfect match for you, but perhaps helpful.
