Resolv::DNS

Resolv::DNS is a DNS stub resolver.

Information taken from the following places:

Constants

Port

Default DNS Port

UDPSize

Default DNS UDP packet size

Public Class Methods

new(config_info=nil) click to toggle source

Creates a new DNS resolver.

config_info can be:

nil

Uses /etc/resolv.conf.

String

Path to a file using /etc/resolv.conf's format.

Hash

Must contain :nameserver, :search and :ndots keys.

:nameserver_port can be used to specify port number of nameserver address.

The value of :nameserver should be an address string or an array of address strings.

  • :nameserver => '8.8.8.8'

  • :nameserver => ['8.8.8.8', '8.8.4.4']

The value of :nameserver_port should be an array of pair of nameserver address and port number.

  • :nameserver_port => [['8.8.8.8', 53], ['8.8.4.4', 53]]

Example:

Resolv::DNS.new(:nameserver => ['210.251.121.21'],
                :search => ['ruby-lang.org'],
                :ndots => 1)

  @mutex = Thread::Mutex.new
  @config = Config.new(config_info)
  @initialized = nil
end

  raise ResolvError.new("DNS result has no information for #{address}")
end
            
getnames(address) click to toggle source

Gets all hostnames for address from the DNS resolver.

getresource(name, typeclass) click to toggle source

Look up the typeclass DNS resource of name.

name must be a Resolv::DNS::Name or a String.

typeclass should be one of the following:

Returned resource is represented as a Resolv::DNS::Resource instance, i.e. Resolv::DNS::Resource::IN::A.

end
            
getresources(name, typeclass) click to toggle source

Looks up all typeclass DNS resources for name. See getresource for argument details.

 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/resolv.rb, line 496
def getresources(name, typeclass)
  ret = []
  each_resource(name, typeclass) {|resource| ret << resource}
  return ret
end
            
timeouts=(values) click to toggle source

Sets the resolver timeouts. This may be a single positive number or an array of positive numbers representing timeouts in seconds. If an array is specified, a DNS request will retry and wait for each successive interval in the array until a successful response is received. Specifying nil reverts to the default timeouts:

5, second = 5 * 2 / nameserver_count, 2 * second, 4 * second

Example:

dns.timeouts = 3
 
               # File ruby-3.1.2/lib/resolv.rb, line 346
def timeouts=(values)
  @config.timeouts = values
