Method maybeParseConfig Undocumented
Method parseConfig Undocumented
Method pickServer Return the address of a nameserver.
Method connectionMade Called by associated dns.DNSProtocol instances when they connect.

Method messageReceived Undocumented
Method queryUDP Make a number of DNS queries via UDP.
Method queryTCP Make a number of DNS queries via TCP.
Method filterAnswers Extract results from the given message.
Method lookupZone Perform an AXFR record lookup.
Instance Variable _waiting A dict mapping tuple keys of query name/type/class to Deferreds which will be called back with the result of those queries. This is used to avoid issuing the same query more than once in parallel. This is more efficient on the network and helps avoid a "birthday paradox" attack by keeping the number of outstanding requests for a particular query fixed at one instead of allowing the attacker to raise it to an arbitrary number.
Instance Variable _reactor A provider of IReactorTCP, IReactorUDP, and IReactorTime which will be used to set up network resources and track timeouts.
Method _openFile Wrapper used for opening files in the class, exists primarily for unit testing purposes.
Method _connectedProtocol Return a new DNSDatagramProtocol bound to a randomly selected port number.
Method _query Get a new DNSDatagramProtocol instance from _connectedProtocol, issue a query to it using *args, and arrange for it to be disconnected from its transport after the query completes.

_waiting =
A dict mapping tuple keys of query name/type/class to Deferreds which will be called back with the result of those queries. This is used to avoid issuing the same query more than once in parallel. This is more efficient on the network and helps avoid a "birthday paradox" attack by keeping the number of outstanding requests for a particular query fixed at one instead of allowing the attacker to raise it to an arbitrary number.
_reactor =
A provider of IReactorTCP, IReactorUDP, and IReactorTime which will be used to set up network resources and track timeouts.
def __init__(self, resolv=None, servers=None, timeout=(1, 3, 11, 45), reactor=None): (source)
overrides twisted.names.common.ResolverBase.__init__

Construct a resolver which will query domain name servers listed in the resolv.conf(5)-format file given by resolv as well as those in the given servers list. Servers are queried in a round-robin fashion. If given, resolv is periodically checked for modification and re-parsed if it is noticed to have changed.

ParametersserversIf not None, interpreted as a list of (host, port) pairs specifying addresses of domain name servers to attempt to use for this lookup. Host addresses should be in IPv4 dotted-quad form. If specified, overrides resolv. (type: list of (str, int) or None)
resolvFilename to read and parse as a resolver(5) configuration file. (type: str)
timeoutDefault number of seconds after which to reissue the query. When the last timeout expires, the query is considered failed. (type: Sequence of int)
reactorA provider of IReactorTime, IReactorUDP, and IReactorTCP which will be used to establish connections, listen for DNS datagrams, and enforce timeouts. If not provided, the global reactor will be used.
RaisesValueErrorRaised if no nameserver addresses can be found.
def __getstate__(self): (source)
Undocumented
def __setstate__(self, state): (source)
Undocumented
def _openFile(self, path): (source)

Wrapper used for opening files in the class, exists primarily for unit testing purposes.

def maybeParseConfig(self): (source)
Undocumented
def parseConfig(self, resolvConf): (source)
Undocumented
def pickServer(self): (source)

Return the address of a nameserver.

TODO: Weight servers for response time so faster ones can be preferred.

def _connectedProtocol(self, interface=''): (source)

Return a new DNSDatagramProtocol bound to a randomly selected port number.

def connectionMade(self, protocol): (source)

Called by associated dns.DNSProtocol instances when they connect.

def connectionLost(self, protocol): (source)

Called by associated dns.DNSProtocol instances when they disconnect.

def messageReceived(self, message, protocol, address=None): (source)
Undocumented
def _query(self, *args): (source)

Get a new DNSDatagramProtocol instance from _connectedProtocol, issue a query to it using *args, and arrange for it to be disconnected from its transport after the query completes.

Parameters*argsPositional arguments to be passed to DNSDatagramProtocol.query.
ReturnsA Deferred which will be called back with the result of the query.
def queryUDP(self, queries, timeout=None): (source)

Make a number of DNS queries via UDP.

ParametersqueriesThe queries to make. (type: A list of dns.Query instances)
timeoutNumber of seconds after which to reissue the query. When the last timeout expires, the query is considered failed. (type: Sequence of int)
Returns (type: Deferred @raise twisted.internet.defer.TimeoutError: When the query times out.)
def _reissue(self, reason, addressesLeft, addressesUsed, query, timeout): (source)
Undocumented
def queryTCP(self, queries, timeout=10): (source)

Make a number of DNS queries via TCP.

ParametersqueriesThe queries to make. (type: Any non-zero number of dns.Query instances)
timeoutThe number of seconds after which to fail. (type: int)
Returns (type: Deferred)
def filterAnswers(self, message): (source)

Extract results from the given message.

If the message was truncated, re-attempt the query over TCP and return a Deferred which will fire with the results of that query.

If the message's result code is not twisted.names.dns.OK, return a Failure indicating the type of error which occurred.

Otherwise, return a three-tuple of lists containing the results from the answers section, the authority section, and the additional section.

def _lookup(self, name, cls, type, timeout): (source)
overrides twisted.names.common.ResolverBase._lookup

Build a dns.Query for the given parameters and dispatch it via UDP.

If this query is already outstanding, it will not be re-issued. Instead, when the outstanding query receives a response, that response will be re-used for this query as well.

ReturnsA Deferred which fires with a three-tuple giving the answer, authority, and additional sections of the response or with a Failure if the response code is anything other than dns.OK.
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)
