does any one know or can they point me in the right direction on how i can perform this on a iis web server?
I'll even buy a tool if its out there ;)

All my pages are static, i would like to perform a lookup and allow access depending on the results returned.
Can any one help me with this problem.

Dim strReverseDNS As String = ""
Try
strReverseDNS = System.Net.Dns.GetHostByAddress(Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")).HostName
Catch exc As Exception
strReverseDNS = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
Finally
End Try
It is VERY important to keep this in the Try/Catch block as there is a coding error in the .Net Framework which will error out if the IP address is xx.xx.x x x.x x x
Because you are using static html pages, you'll need to place this code in the global.asax file which needs to reside in your root application directory. If you don't have one, you will need to add it in.
Here's a good article on creating one and the different events that can get fired from inside of it:

You'll want to place your reverse dns code in the "Application_BeginRequest" sub.

I'm looking at it now and I'll report back (hehe) when i have questions ;)

setting up the global.asax file and running my static pages through it unfortunately doesn't want to work after a period of time the web server grinds to a holt and we have to restart, we do have fairly high traffic website would this be the reason or can you think of something that i might have messed up.

Thanks for your reply and willingness to help,
we've found an alternative method where we are using isapi to send to a asp script that opens the gate if they pass.
Once again thanks very much for your comments and help.
