do_site/site lookups

Some have seen the do_site code at the circle ftp site but there's
just one problem with it, most players use dynamic ip address and if
I try to look the real hostname (negia.net instead of ppp3.negia.net)
it doesn't find anything. I've not had much dealing with this sort of
coding and therefor have no idea how I could fix that. I tried checking
the ban code but its all a bunch of pointers from one function to
another
and by the time I got to where the code really is I was completely lost.
If anyone has a "improved" version of the code please tell me.
Also. I seem to have trouble compiling do_site where the problem is
unix_name isn't a part of the dummy structure (dummy.unix_name) so I
have
replaced that with dummy.site. I don't belive that matters any
but just wondering. I think dummy.site is what the author intended to
write.


Any help will be appreciated. Do I need [NEWBIE] flag here?
