Specifying DNS server in PHP

From: jgantes@xxxxxxxxx

Does anyone know if it is possible to specify which DNS server you want
GETHOSTBYNAME to use in PHP? Which nameserver does it use by default?
It appears to use the SERVER's and not the local machine (which would
make sense) but does anyone know? I really need to do a lookup with a
specific name server.

Thanks.
