To be honest, I don't use IRC and neither does my wife and middle son.
Of course the day I block the protocol and ports, my youngest son will
announce he as learned to read and wants to IRC with his schoolmates.
:-)
Someone else suggested that I stop DNS lookups for the domain, and I did.
However, I'm still interested in finding out how I could traverse a
DNS "tree" and get all the IP address that belong to hosts in the
domain and subdomains.
A general suggestion would be fine, I don't expect to find a ready made
program to do it.
Thanks,
Geoff.
