Net::DNS is a collection of Perl modules to interface with
|
||
|
|
the Domain Name System (DNS) resolver. It allows the
|
||
|
|
programmer to perform queries that are beyond the
|
||
|
|
capabilities of gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Resolver Objects
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A resolver object is an instance of the Net::DNS::Resolver
|
||
|
|
class. A program can have multiple resolver objects, each
|
||
|
|
maintaining its own state information such as the
|
||
|
|
nameservers to be queried, whether recursion is desired,
|
||
|
|
etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Packet Objects
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Net::DNS::Resolver queries return Net::DNS::Packet
|
||
|
|
objects. Packet objects have five sections:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o The header section, a Net::DNS::Header object.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o The question section, a list of Net::DNS::Question
|
||
|
|
objects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o The answer section, a list of Net::DNS::RR objects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o The authority section, a list of Net::DNS::RR objects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
o The additional section, a list of Net::DNS::RR objects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Header Objects
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Net::DNS::Header objects represent the header section of a
|
||
|
|
DNS packet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Question Objects
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Net::DNS::Question objects represent the query section of
|
||
|
|
a DNS packet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RR Objects
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Net::DNS::RR is the base class for DNS resource record
|
||
|
|
(RR) objects in the answer, authority, and additional
|
||
|
|
sections of a DNS packet.
