A resolver that services hosts(5) format files.

Method __init__ Undocumented
Method lookupAddress Read any IPv4 addresses from self.file and return them as Record_A instances.
Method lookupIPV6Address Read any IPv6 addresses from self.file and return them as Record_AAAA instances.
Method _aRecords Return a tuple of dns.RRHeader instances for all of the IPv4 addresses in the hosts file.
Method _aaaaRecords Return a tuple of dns.RRHeader instances for all of the IPv6 addresses in the hosts file.
Method _respond Generate a response for the given name containing the given result records, or a failure if there are no result records.

def __init__(self, file='/etc/hosts', ttl=60 * 60): (source)
def _aRecords(self, name): (source)

Return a tuple of dns.RRHeader instances for all of the IPv4 addresses in the hosts file.

def _aaaaRecords(self, name): (source)

def _respond(self, name, records): (source)

Generate a response for the given name containing the given result records, or a failure if there are no result records.

ParametersnameThe DNS name the response is for. (type: str)
recordsA tuple of dns.RRHeader instances giving the results that will go into the response.
ReturnsA Deferred which will fire with a three-tuple of result records, authority records, and additional records, or which will fail with dns.DomainError if there are no result records.
def lookupAddress(self, name, timeout=None): (source)
