Is there a reason using dns_get_record over gethostbyname? Thanks! :)

Honestly, it never crossed my mind to use gethostbyname(). Definitely would simplify the code.

Any idea on if one performs the lookup faster than the other? I'm assuming it's a trivial difference.

I need to get in there and reformat the code to be a bit more PSR compliant, I'll consider making this update when I do.

Thanks for bringing this up!

No idea if it's faster, just thought the same; that it could simplify the code.
