IP*Works! DNS Component : DNS OCX, DNS .NET Component, DNS Class, DNS Bean, DNS Object

The IPInfo component operates asynchronously. Requests are posted to the component by setting a property like HostName or HostAddress and then waiting for the RequestComplete event. The RequestId property identifies the request.

Up to 100 simultaneous requests can be queued at any moment. PendingRequests shows the number of pending requests, and may also be used to adjust the size of the queue (by dumping a number of the pending requests).
