Fair enough, if you happen to have the package mysql-server, it comes with an app called /usr/bin/resolveip which would do that task.
But more likey you will have the syslinux package which comes with /usr/bin/gethostip.
Example:
resoveip -s pembo13.com
gethostip -d pemb13.com
I realize that I may be suffering from Re-create the wheel disease but I have already re written the script partially as an exercise and partly as wanting the power to customize it. what I really need at this point is a way to turn symbolic addresses into IPs and leave IPs alone from a command line. but I don't know of one that works easily. I do appreciate the suggestions though.

that I should just block everyone and then open access for those whom I know
I trust but because of the nature of our network this is not possible.
basically I check log files for login attempts every five minutes and block
those that attempt to log in more than 3 times that day. this is all working
great but my problem is this. I sometimes get log entries with the symbolic
address instead of the ip. how do I convert these in a systematic way and
not have a problem when I run IPs through it. I'm sure this is an easy task
but I don't now what tool to use.
thanks for your help
