NAME

Net::DNS::Multicast - Multicast extension to Net::DNS

SYNOPSIS

    use Net::DNS::Multicast;
    my $resolver = Net::DNS::Resolver->new();
    my $response = $resolver->send( 'host.local.', 'AAAA' );

    my $handle = $resolver->bgsend( '_ipp._tcp.local.', 'PTR' );
    while ( my $response = $resolver->bgread($handle) ) {
	$response->print;
    }

DESCRIPTION

Net::DNS::Multicast is installed as an extension to an existing Net::DNS installation providing packages to support simple IP multicast queries as described in RFC6762(5.1).

The multicast feature is activated by substituting Net::DNS::Multicast for Net::DNS in the use declaration.

The use of IP Multicast is confined to the link-local domain names listed in RFC6762. Queries for other names in the global DNS are directed to the configured nameservers.
