Resolving ip-address of a hostname

Question

I have the DNS server IP address and a hostname.

Using Java, how can I find the IP address of the hostname as returned by that DNS server using the IP address and the hostname?

Answer 1

Take a look at InetAddress and the getHostAddress() method.

InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName("www.example.com");  System.out.println(address.getHostAddress());
