def buildProtocol(self, addr): (source)

from twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocolFactory

overrides twisted.internet.protocol.Factory.buildProtocol

Create an instance of a subclass of Protocol.

The returned instance will handle input on an incoming server connection, and an attribute "factory" pointing to the creating factory.

Alternatively, None may be returned to immediately close the new connection.

Override this method to alter how Protocol instances get created.

Parameters addr an object implementing twisted.internet.interfaces.IAddress

queries will be copied from the request to the response.

rCode, answers, authority and additional will be assigned to the response, if supplied.

The recAv flag will be set on the response if the canRecurse flag on this DNSServerFactory is set to True.

The auth flag will be set on the response if *any* of the supplied answers have their auth flag set to True.

The response will have the same maxSize as the request.

Additionally, the response will have a timeReceived attribute whose value is that of the original request and the

Parameters	message	The request message (type: `int`)

See Also	`dns._responseFromMessage`

def gotResolverResponse(self, response, protocol, message, address): (source)

A callback used by DNSServerFactory.handleQuery for handling the deferred response from self.resolver.query.

Constructs a response message by combining the original query message with the resolved answer, authority and additional records.

Marks the response message as authoritative if any of the resolved answers are found to be authoritative.

The resolved answers count will be logged if DNSServerFactory.verbose is >1.

Parameters	response	Answer records, authority records and additional records (type: `tuple` of `list` of `dns.RRHeader` instances)
	protocol	The DNS protocol instance to which to send a response message. (type: `dns.DNSDatagramProtocol` or `dns.DNSProtocol`)
	message	The original DNS query message for which a response message will be constructed. (type: `dns.Message`)
	address	The address to which the response message will be sent or `None` if `protocol` is a stream protocol. (type: `tuple` or `None`)

def gotResolverError(self, failure, protocol, message, address): (source)

A callback used by DNSServerFactory.handleQuery for handling deferred errors from self.resolver.query.

Constructs a response message from the original query message by assigning a suitable error code to rCode.

An error message will be logged if DNSServerFactory.verbose is >1.

Parameters	failure	The reason for the failed resolution (as reported by `self.resolver.query`). (type: `Failure`)
	protocol	The DNS protocol instance to which to send a response message. (type: `dns.DNSDatagramProtocol` or `dns.DNSProtocol`)
	message	The original DNS query message for which a response message will be constructed. (type: `dns.Message`)
	address	The address to which the response message will be sent or `None` if `protocol` is a stream protocol. (type: `tuple` or `None`)

def handleQuery(self, message, protocol, address): (source)

Called by DNSServerFactory.messageReceived when a query message is received.

Takes the first query from the received message and dispatches it to self.resolver.query.

Adds callbacks DNSServerFactory.gotResolverResponse and DNSServerFactory.gotResolverError to the resulting deferred.

Note: Multiple queries in a single message are not supported because there is no standard way to respond with multiple rCodes, auth, etc. This is consistent with other DNS server implementations. See http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsext-edns1-03 for a proposed solution.

Parameters	protocol	The DNS protocol instance to which to send a response message. (type: `dns.DNSDatagramProtocol` or `dns.DNSProtocol`)
	message	The original DNS query message for which a response message will be constructed. (type: `dns.Message`)
	address	The address to which the response message will be sent or `None` if `protocol` is a stream protocol. (type: `tuple` or `None`)
Returns	A `deferred` which fires with the resolved result or error of the first query in `message`. (type: `Deferred`)

def handleInverseQuery(self, message, protocol, address): (source)

Called by DNSServerFactory.messageReceived when an inverse query message is received.

Replies with a Not Implemented error by default.

An error message will be logged if DNSServerFactory.verbose is >1.

Override in a subclass.

Parameters	protocol	The DNS protocol instance to which to send a response message. (type: `dns.DNSDatagramProtocol` or `dns.DNSProtocol`)
	message	The original DNS query message for which a response message will be constructed. (type: `dns.Message`)

	message	The original DNS query message for which a response message will be constructed. (type: `dns.Message`)

def handleNotify(self, message, protocol, address): (source)

Called by DNSServerFactory.messageReceived when a notify message is received.

Replies with a Not Implemented error by default.

An error message will be logged if DNSServerFactory.verbose is >1.

Override in a subclass.

Replies with a Not Implemented error by default.

An error message will be logged if DNSServerFactory.verbose is >1.

	message	The original DNS query message for which a response message will be constructed. (type: `dns.Message`)
	address	The address to which the response message will be sent or `None` if `protocol` is a stream protocol. (type: `tuple` or `None`)

def messageReceived(self, message, proto, address=None): (source)

DNSServerFactory.messageReceived is called by protocols which are under the control of this DNSServerFactory whenever they receive a DNS query message or an unexpected / duplicate / late DNS response message.

DNSServerFactory.allowQuery is called with the received message, protocol and origin address. If it returns False, a dns.EREFUSED response is sent back to the client.

Otherwise the received message is dispatched to one of DNSServerFactory.handleQuery, DNSServerFactory.handleInverseQuery, DNSServerFactory.handleStatus, DNSServerFactory.handleNotify, or DNSServerFactory.handleOther depending on the OPCODE of the received message.

If DNSServerFactory.verbose is >0 all received messages will be logged in more or less detail depending on the value of verbose.

Parameters	message	The DNS message that was received. (type: `dns.Message`)
	proto	The DNS protocol instance which received the message (type: `dns.DNSDatagramProtocol` or `dns.DNSProtocol`)
	address	The address from which the message was received. Only provided for messages received by datagram protocols. The origin of Messages received from stream protocols can be gleaned from the protocol `transport` attribute. (type: `tuple` or `None`)

def allowQuery(self, message, protocol, address): (source)

Called by DNSServerFactory.messageReceived to decide whether to process a received message or to reply with dns.EREFUSED.

This default implementation permits anything but empty queries.

Override in a subclass to implement alternative policies.

Parameters	message	The DNS message that was received. (type: `dns.Message`)
	protocol	The DNS protocol instance which received the message (type: `dns.DNSDatagramProtocol` or `dns.DNSProtocol`)
	address	The address from which the message was received. Only provided for messages received by datagram protocols. The origin of Messages received from stream protocols can be gleaned from the protocol `transport` attribute. (type: `tuple` or `None`)
Returns	`True` if the received message contained one or more queries, else `False`. (type: `bool`)
