      Resolver implements recursive lookup starting from a specified list of root servers.

| Method | _roots | Return a list of two-tuples representing the addresses of the root servers, as defined by self.hints. | 
  
| Method | _query | Issue one query and return a Deferred which fires with its response. | 
  
| Method | _lookup | Implement name lookup by recursively discovering the authoritative server for the name and then asking it, starting at one of the servers in self.hints. | 
  
| Method | _discoverAuthority | Issue a query to a server and follow a delegation if necessary. | 
| Method | _discoveredAuthority | Interpret the response to a query, checking for error codes and following delegations if necessary. |

| Parameters | hints | A list of str giving the dotted quad representation of IP addresses of root servers at which to begin resolving names. (type: list of str) | 
| maximumQueries | An optional int giving the maximum number of queries which will be attempted to resolve a single name. (type: int) | |
| reactor | An optional IReactorTime and IReactorUDP provider to use to bind UDP ports and manage timeouts. (type: IReactorTime and IReactorUDP provider) | |
| resolverFactory | An optional callable which accepts reactor and servers arguments and returns an instance that provides a queryUDP method. Defaults to twisted.names.client.Resolver. (type: callable) | 
Return a list of two-tuples representing the addresses of the root servers, as defined by self.hints.
Issue one query and return a Deferred which fires with its response.
| Parameters | query | The query to issue. (type: dns.Query) | 
| servers | The servers which might have an answer for this query. (type: list of tuple of str and int) | |
| timeout | A timeout on how long to wait for the response. (type: tuple of int) | |
| filter | A flag indicating whether to filter the results.  If True, the returned Deferred will fire with a three-tuple of lists of twisted.names.dns.RRHeader (like the return value of the lookup* methods of IResolver.  IF False, the result will be a Message instance. (type: bool) | |
| Returns | A Deferred which fires with the response or a timeout error. (type: Deferred) | |
Implement name lookup by recursively discovering the authoritative server for the name and then asking it, starting at one of the servers in self.hints.
Issue a query to a server and follow a delegation if necessary.
| Parameters | query | The query to issue. (type: dns.Query) | 
| servers | The servers which might have an answer for this query. (type: list of tuple of str and int) | |
| timeout | A tuple of int giving the timeout to use for this query. | |
| queriesLeft | A int giving the number of queries which may yet be attempted to answer this query before the attempt will be abandoned. | |
| Returns | A Deferred which fires with a three-tuple of lists of twisted.names.dns.RRHeader giving the response, or with a Failure if there is a timeout or response error. | |
Interpret the response to a query, checking for error codes and following delegations if necessary.
| Parameters | response | The Message received in response to issuing query. (type: Message) | 
| query | The dns.Query which was issued. (type: dns.Query.) | |
| timeout | The timeout to use if another query is indicated by this response. (type: tuple of int) | |
| queriesLeft | A int giving the number of queries which may yet be attempted to answer this query before the attempt will be abandoned. | |
| Returns | A Failure indicating a response error, a three-tuple of lists of twisted.names.dns.RRHeader giving the response to query or a Deferred which will fire with one of those. | |
