string?]{
|

Consults the specified nameserver (normally a numerical address like
|
|
@racket["128.42.1.30"]) to obtain a numerical address for the given
|
|
Internet address.
|
|
|
|
The query record sent to the DNS server includes the "recursive" bit,
|
|
but @racket[dns-get-address] also implements a recursive search itself
|
|
in case the server does not provide this optional feature.
|
|
|
|
If @racket[ipv6?] is a true value, then the numerical address
|
|
that is returned will be an IPv6 address. If no AAAA record exists,
|
|
an error will be raised.

Attempts to find the address of a nameserver on the present system.

On Unix and Mac OS X, this procedure parses @filepath{/etc/resolv.conf} to

extract the first nameserver address. On Windows, it runs
