This program would only allow connections to one host or a list of hosts in a text file. What I don't want is this program to is to domain lookups. May I suggest that it looks up the name of the host to connect to in a table to find if it's acceptable, and then do the domain name lookup to find the address? You don't want to reconfigure more than you have to when addresses change, and you don't want the text table to contain errors.
