Objective-C detect DNS

Does anyone knows how can i detect from an app the DNS of the iPhone?

UPDATE: If there're different ways of obtaining the DNS server and DNS host name, any solution is acceptable.

An alternative, and possibly better way, to do this, is to use the Core Foundations APIs.

More specifically, the CFHost API will do asynchronous host resolution.

You can ask a CFHost instance to start resolving a host and test for its reachability. The process will happen on a runloop and you will get callbacks when the resolution has finished.

It is a good alternative for the blocking gethostname call.

To get the host name you can use libc API, gethostname:

#import <unistd.h>

...

char hostname[HOST_NAME_MAX];
int err = gethostname(hostname, HOST_NAME_MAX);
if(!err)
    NSLog(@"My hostname is %s", hostname);
