When i try to resolve any DNS using 'Dns.Resolve()' function, it use Default DNS provided by Network Connection.
can anybody guide me that how can i resolve DSN to IP address by custom DNS Server.

 Imports System.net 
 
{...}
 
Try
 
Dim ipHE As IPHostEntry
 
Dim ipAD As IPAddress
 
ipHE = Dns.Resolve("www.vbdotnetforums.com")
 
For Each ipAD In ipHE.AddressList
 
MessageBox.Show("AddressFamily: " + ipAD.AddressFamily.ToString() + _
 
ControlChars.NewLine + _
 
"Address: " + ipAD.ToString())
 
Next
 
Catch ex As Exception
 
MessageBox.Show("Error msg: " + ex.Message)
 
End Try

result:

AddressFamily: InterNetwork
Address: 64.92.192.8
