Method __setstate__ Undocumented
Method lookupZone Perform an AXFR record lookup.
Instance Variable _ADDITIONAL_PROCESSING_TYPES Record types for which additional processing will be done.
Instance Variable _ADDRESS_TYPES Record types which are useful for inclusion in the additional section generated during additional processing.
Method _additionalRecords 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.

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.

ParametersanswerA list of the records which will be included in the answer section of the response.
authorityA list of the records which will be included in the authority section of the response.
ttlThe default TTL for records for which this is not otherwise specified.
ReturnsA 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.

ParametersnameThe name which is being queried and for which to lookup a response. (type: bytes)
clsThe class which is being queried. Only IN is implemented here and this value is presently disregarded. (type: int)
typeThe type of records being queried. See the types defined in twisted.names.dns. (type: int)
timeoutAll processing is done locally and a result is available immediately, so the timeout value is ignored.
ReturnsA 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.

ParametersnameDNS name to resolve. (type: str)
timeoutWhen this timeout expires, the query is considered failed. (type: int)
ReturnsA 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)
