: indeed ;(


No need to incorporate 120 lines. This bit seems the relevant bit (found by
searching for getHostByAddr)

function lookup($target){
    global $ntarget;
    $msg = "$target resolved to ";
    if( eregi("[a-zA-Z]", $target) )
        $ntarget = gethostbyname($target);
    else
        $ntarget = gethostbyaddr($target);
    $msg .= $ntarget;
    message($msg);
    }

which I believe looks at what the user submitted in the form. It what user
submitted contains letters, then it assumes the user submited a domain name
and  it uses getHostByName to return the IP address of the domain. Otherwise
the user submitted and IP address, and it uses gethostByAddr() to do a DNS
lookup on the IP address.

Check the second link that I posted. That has a simple example.
