Feature request: Command to resolve domain name - rosenrost - 06-16-2026
Since the WiModem performs name server lookups anyway, would it be possible to implement an AT command (e.g. AT*DIG) that allows such queries to be executed interactively?
For example, AT*DIGwww.cbmstuff.com to query the IP address of the A record of www.cbmstuff.com:
AT*DIGwww.cbmstuff.com
74.208.236.26

You mean a command that converts a URL to an IP address? I am not sure if that is possible since this is done internally in the WiFi stack and is something that I never see. But, I will look into it.

OK, I CAN do this but I am not sure if I like *DIG for the command though.
You would need to enter the URL without the www or anything in front of the www. For example:
AT*DNS cbmstuff.com
Any space character after the DNS would be ignored.

OK, done! New version is available. Use:
AT*DNS <URL>
You can use a domain name with www or even https:// in front of the domain name.

Wow, that was incredibly fast and works great. "DIG" was just a suggestion based on the Unix `dig` command. Now, mailbox operators have a way to query their own (dynamic) external IP address.
Thanks a million for that, Jim!

You're welcome! I don't work with Linux, so I have never heard of this before.
