13 This module is a sub class of Net::DNS::Resolver. So the methods for
14 Net::DNS::Resolver still work for this module as well. There are just
15 a couple methods added:
16
17 hints
18 Initialize the hint servers. Recursive queries need a starting name
19 server to work off of. This method takes a list of IP addresses to use
20 as the starting servers. These name servers should be authoritative
21 for the root (.) zone.
22
23 $res->hints(@ips);
24
25 If no hints are passed, the default nameserver is asked for the hints.
26 Normally these IPs can be obtained from the following location:
27
28 ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.root
29
30 recursion_callback
31 This method is takes a code reference, which is then invoked each time
32 a packet is received during the recursive lookup. For example to
33 emulate dig's "+trace" function:
34
35 $res->recursion_callback(sub {
36 my $packet = shift;
37
38 $_->print for $packet->additional;
39
40 printf(";; Received %d bytes from %s\n\n",
41 $packet->answersize,
42 $packet->answerfrom
43 );
44 });
45
46 query_dorecursion
47 This method is much like the normal query() method except it disables
48 the recurse flag in the packet and explicitly performs the recursion.
49
50 $packet = $res->query_dorecursion( "www.netscape.com.", "A");
51
53 If the appropriate IPv6 libraries are installed the recursive resolver
54 will randomly choose between IPv6 and IPv4 addresses of the nameservers
55 it encounters during recursion.
56
57 If you want to force IPv4 transport use the force_v4() method. Also see
58 the IPv6 transport notes in the Net::DNS::Resolver documentation.
