I deleted the name of the one who made the query. Of course you could do the M$ way (bad network neighbor). You have the routing information from within the kernel. Therefore, you can query every possible address on port 53. This will eventually get you some machine that pretends to be a name-server for the domain.
I don't suggest you do this, though. If you need IP addresses or name-to-address translation inside a module or a kernel-driver, something is broken in the design, probably an understanding of what the kernel is.

I was going to compile a list of innovations that could be attributed to Microsoft. Once I realized that Ctrl-Alt-Del was handled in the BIOS, I found that there aren't any.
