_ADDITIONAL_PROCESSING_TYPES =

Record types for which additional processing will be done.

_ADDRESS_TYPES =

Record types which are useful for inclusion in the additional section generated during additional processing.

Undocumented

def __setstate__(self, state): (source)

Undocumented

def _additionalRecords(self, answer, authority, ttl): (source)

Find locally known information that could be useful to the consumer of the response and construct appropriate records to include in the additional section of that response.

Essentially, implement RFC 1034 section 4.3.2 step 6.

Parameters	answer	A `list` of the records which will be included in the answer section of the response.
	authority	A `list` of the records which will be included in the authority section of the response.
	ttl	The default TTL for records for which this is not otherwise specified.
Returns	A generator of `dns.RRHeader` instances for inclusion in the additional section. These instances represent extra information about the records in `answer` and `authority`.

def _lookup(self, name, cls, type, timeout=None): (source)

overrides twisted.names.common.ResolverBase._lookup

overridden in twisted.names.secondary.SecondaryAuthority

Determine a response to a particular DNS query.

Parameters	name	The name which is being queried and for which to lookup a response. (type: `bytes`)
	cls	The class which is being queried. Only IN is implemented here and this value is presently disregarded. (type: `int`)
	type	The type of records being queried. See the types defined in `twisted.names.dns`. (type: `int`)
	timeout	All processing is done locally and a result is available immediately, so the timeout value is ignored.
Returns	A `Deferred` that fires with a `tuple` of three sets of response records (to comprise the answer, authority, and additional sections of a DNS response) or with a `Failure` if there is a problem processing the query.

def lookupZone(self, name, timeout=10): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IResolver

overrides twisted.names.common.ResolverBase.lookupZone

Perform an AXFR record lookup.

NB This is quite different from other DNS requests. See http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/axfr-notes.html for more information.

NB Unlike other lookup* methods, the timeout here is not a list of ints, it is a single int.

Parameters	name	DNS name to resolve. (type: `str`)
	timeout	When this timeout expires, the query is considered failed. (type: `int`)
Returns	A `Deferred` which fires with a three-tuple of lists of `twisted.names.dns.RRHeader` instances. The first element of the tuple gives answers. The second and third elements are always empty. The `Deferred` may instead fail with one of the exceptions defined in `twisted.names.error` or with `NotImplementedError`. (type: `Deferred`)

def _cbAllRecords(self, results): (source)

Undocumented
