dns

Work In Progress - This is not yet a usable library

Features:

• Basic server and resolver functionality over TCP and UDP (not yet standards compliant)
• Zone file reader
• Currently supported Resource Records: A, CNAME, MX, NS, PTR, SOA, and TXT
• Partially supported Resource Records: AAAA, HINFO, and OPT
• Simple DNS response caching

Installation

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  dns:
    github: teknomunk/cr-dns

Usage

Client

require "dns"

resolv = DNS::Resolver.new( DNS::Resolver::TCPChannel.new( "127.0.0.0", 5353 ) )
resolv.send_request( DNS::Message.simple_query( "A", "example.com." ) )
msg = resolv.get_response()

if msg.answers.size > 0 && (rr=msg.answers[0]).is_a?(DNS::RR::A)
	puts rr.ip_address
end

Server

require "dns"

server = DNS::Server.new()
server.listen_udp( "0.0.0.0", 5353 )
server.listen_tcp( "0.0.0.0", 5353 )
server.add_zone( DNS::Zone.new( File.open("test.zone") ) )

server.run()
