Defined in:
lib/cool.io/dns_resolver.rb

Overview

A non-blocking DNS resolver. It provides interfaces for querying both /etc/hosts and nameserves listed in /etc/resolv.conf, or nameservers of your choosing.

Presently the client only supports UDP requests against your nameservers and cannot resolve anything with records larger than 512-bytes. Also, IPv6 is not presently supported.

DNSResolver objects are one-shot. Once they resolve a domain name they automatically detach themselves from the event loop and cannot be used again.

Constructor Details

#initialize(hostname, *nameservers) ⇒ DNSResolver

Create a new Coolio::Watcher descended object to resolve the given hostname. If you so desire you can also specify a list of nameservers to query. By default the resolver will use nameservers listed in /etc/resolv.conf

Class Method Details

.hosts(host, hostfile = Resolv::Hosts::DefaultFileName) ⇒ Object

so currently total is 12s before it will err due to timeouts if it errs due to inability to reach the DNS server [Errno::EHOSTUNREACH], same Query /etc/hosts (or the specified hostfile) for the given host
