NAME

6       Net::DNS::Update - DNS dynamic update packet
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Net::DNS;
10
11           $update = new Net::DNS::Update( 'example.com', 'IN' );
12
13           $update->push( prereq => nxrrset('foo.example.com. A') );
14           $update->push( update => rr_add('foo.example.com. 86400 A 192.168.1.2') );
15

DESCRIPTION

17       Net::DNS::Update is a subclass of Net::DNS::Packet, to be used for
18       making DNS dynamic updates.
19
20       Programmers should refer to RFC2136 for dynamic update semantics.
21

METHODS

23   new
24           $update = new Net::DNS::Update;
25           $update = new Net::DNS::Update( 'example.com' );
26           $update = new Net::DNS::Update( 'example.com', 'HS' );
27
28       Returns a Net::DNS::Update object suitable for performing a DNS dynamic
29       update.      Specifically, it creates a packet with the header opcode
30       set to UPDATE and the zone record type to SOA (per RFC 2136, Section
31       2.3).
32
33       Programs must use the push() method to add RRs to the prerequisite and
34       update sections before performing the update.
35
36       Arguments are the zone name and the class.  The zone and class may be
37       undefined or omitted and default to the default domain from the
38       resolver configuration and IN respectively.
39
40   push
41           $ancount = $update->push( prereq => $rr );
42           $nscount = $update->push( update => $rr );
43           $arcount = $update->push( additional => $rr );
44
45           $nscount = $update->push( update => $rr1, $rr2, $rr3 );
46           $nscount = $update->push( update => @rr );
47
48       Adds RRs to the specified section of the update packet.
49
50       Returns the number of resource records in the specified section.
51
52       Section names may be abbreviated to the first three characters.
53
54   unique_push
55           $ancount = $update->unique_push( prereq => $rr );
56           $nscount = $update->unique_push( update => $rr );
57           $arcount = $update->unique_push( additional => $rr );
58
59           $nscount = $update->unique_push( update => $rr1, $rr2, $rr3 );
60           $nscount = $update->unique_push( update => @rr );
61
62       Adds RRs to the specified section of the update packet provided that
63       the RRs are not already present in the same section.
64
65       Returns the number of resource records in the specified section.
66
67       Section names may be abbreviated to the first three characters.

EXAMPLES

70       The first example below shows a complete program.  Subsequent examples
71       show only the creation of the update packet.
72
73       Although the examples are presented using the string form of RRs, the
74       corresponding ( name => value ) form may also be used.
75
76   Add a new host
77           #!/usr/bin/perl
78
79           use Net::DNS;
80
81           # Create the update packet.
82           my $update = new Net::DNS::Update('example.com');
83
84           # Prerequisite is that no A records exist for the name.
85           $update->push( pre => nxrrset('foo.example.com. A') );
86
87           # Add two A records for the name.
88           $update->push( update => rr_add('foo.example.com. 86400 A 192.168.1.2') );
89           $update->push( update => rr_add('foo.example.com. 86400 A 172.16.3.4') );
90
91           # Send the update to the zone's primary master.
92           my $resolver = new Net::DNS::Resolver;
93           $resolver->nameservers('primary-master.example.com');
94
95           my $reply = $resolver->send($update);
96
97           # Did it work?
98           if ($reply) {
99                   if ( $reply->header->rcode eq 'NOERROR' ) {
100                           print "Update succeeded\n";
101                   } else {
102                           print 'Update failed: ', $reply->header->rcode, "\n";
103                   }
104           } else {
105                   print 'Update failed: ', $resolver->errorstring, "\n";
106           }
107
108   Add an MX record for a name that already exists
109           my $update = new Net::DNS::Update('example.com');
110           $update->push( prereq => yxdomain('example.com') );
111           $update->push( update => rr_add('example.com MX 10 mailhost.example.com') );
112
113   Add a TXT record for a name that does not exist
114           my $update = new Net::DNS::Update('example.com');
115           $update->push( prereq => nxdomain('info.example.com') );
116           $update->push( update => rr_add('info.example.com TXT "yabba dabba doo"') );
117
118   Delete all A records for a name
119           my $update = new Net::DNS::Update('example.com');
120           $update->push( prereq => yxrrset('foo.example.com A') );
121           $update->push( update => rr_del('foo.example.com A') );
122
123   Delete all RRs for a name
124           my $update = new Net::DNS::Update('example.com');
125           $update->push( prereq => yxdomain('byebye.example.com') );
126           $update->push( update => rr_del('byebye.example.com') );
127
128   Perform a DNS update signed using a BIND private key file
129           my $update = new Net::DNS::Update('example.com');
130           $update->push( update => rr_add('foo.example.com A 10.1.2.3') );
131           $update->sign_tsig( "$dir/Khmac-sha512.example.com.+165+01018.private" );
132           my $reply = $resolver->send( $update );
133           $reply->verify( $update ) || die $reply->verifyerr;
134
135   Signing the DNS update using a BIND public key file
136           $update->sign_tsig( "$dir/Khmac-sha512.example.com.+165+01018.key" );
137
138   Signing the DNS update using a customised TSIG record
139           $update->sign_tsig( "$dir/Khmac-sha512.example.com.+165+01018.private",
140                               fudge => 60
141                               );
142
143   Another way to sign a DNS update
144           my $key_name = 'tsig-key';
145           my $key      = 'awwLOtRfpGE+rRKF2+DEiw==';
146
147           my $tsig = new Net::DNS::RR("$key_name TSIG $key");
148           $tsig->fudge(60);
149
150           my $update = new Net::DNS::Update('example.com');
151           $update->push( update     => rr_add('foo.example.com A 10.1.2.3') );
152           $update->push( additional => $tsig );
