[dba-Tech] Automate IP lookup

Yeah. Maybe I didn't explain it very well...

I'm looking for something that will resolve the names I've got to IP
addresses, that I can then ping to see what's online. I can do it al
lmanually, but there's around 300 of them, so anything that can speed it up
would be great. 

How's that? :-)

Do you mean you want to know the IP addresses of machines which may not
currently be on-line? 

If you are using  DHCP, then these "out of date" IP addresses are
meaningless. If you are using static IP addresses, you need to look at the
spreadsheet that your network 
administrator updates every time a machine is configured :-)
