How to poll hostname from local name server with wildcard

I am developing a cross-platform application for Windows and Linux. I
would like the application to poll all computers/devices connected to
a LAN and with host names beginning with a special string, say
"SpecialDevice", for example "SpecialDevice_SN1" and
"SpecialDevice_SN2". Can I use wildcard to poll the local name
servers, similar to the way that the DNS resolver poll the DNS server
with wildcards? BTW, what is the command in Linux to poll the local
name server?
I would also like the application to check the availability of the
local name servers and DHCP server in the local network. What is the
best way to do so? Is there any sample available for Linux? What will
be the linux command or library that support this type of
application.
Thank you!
