NAME
Net::DNS::Resolver::Unbound - Net::DNS resolver based on libunbound
SYNOPSIS
use Net::DNS;
use Net::DNS::Resolver::Unbound;
my $resolver = Net::DNS::Resolver::Unbound->new(...);
my $response = $resolver->send(...);DESCRIPTION
Net::DNS::Resolver::Unbound is designed as an extension to an existing Net::DNS installation which facilitates DNS(SEC) name resolution.
Net::DNS::Resolver::Unbound replaces the resolver send() and bgsend() functionality in the Net::DNS::Resolver::Base implementation.
As of this writing, the implementation has some significant limitations:
Selection of transport protocol and associated parameters is entirely at the discretion of Unbound.
There is no provision for specifying DNS header flags or EDNS options in outbound packets.
It is not possible to send a pre-constructed packet to a nameserver. A best-effort attempt is made instead using (qname,qtype,qclass) extracted from the presented packet.
METHODS
new
my $resolver = Net::DNS::Resolver::Unbound->new(
debug_level => 2,
defnames => 1,
dnsrch, => 1,
domain => 'domain',
ndots => 1,
searchlist => ['domain' ... ],
nameservers => [ ... ],
option => ['logfile', 'mylog.txt'] );Returns a new Net::DNS::Resolver::Unbound resolver object.
nameservers
my $stub_resolver = Net::DNS::Resolver::Unbound->new(
nameservers => [ '127.0.0.53' ]
);
my $fully_recursive = Net::DNS::Resolver::Unbound->new(
nameservers => [], # override /etc/resolv.conf
);By default, DNS queries are sent to the IP addresses listed in /etc/resolv.conf or similar platform-specific sources.
search, query, send, bgsend, bgbusy, bgread
See Net::DNS::Resolver.
option
$filename = $resolver->option( 'logfile' );
$resolver->option( 'logfile', $filename );Get or set Unbound resolver (name,value) context options.
config
$resolver->config( 'Unbound.cfg' );This is a power-users interface that lets you specify all sorts of Unbound configuration options.
set_fwd
$resolver->set_fwd( 'IP address' );Set IPv4 or IPv6 address to which DNS queries are to be directed. The destination machine is expected to run a recursive resolver. If the proxy is not DNSSEC-capable, validation may fail. Can be called several times, in that case the addresses are used as backup servers.
set_tls
$resolver->set_tls( 0 );
$resolver->set_tls( 1 );Use DNS over TLS for queries to nameservers specified using set_fwd().
set_stub
$resolver->set_stub( 'zone', '10.1.2.3', 0 );Add a stub zone, with given address to send to. This is for custom root hints or pointing to a local authoritative DNS server. For DNS resolvers and the 'DHCP DNS' IP address, use set_fwd().
resolv_conf
$resolver->resolv_conf( 'filename' );Extract nameserver list from resolv.conf(5) format configuration file. Any domain, searchlist, ndots or other settings are ignored.
Note that Net::DNS builds its own nameserver list using /etc/resolv.conf or other platform-specific sources.
hosts
$resolver->hosts( 'filename' );Read list of hosts from the filename given, usually "/etc/hosts". These addresses are not flagged as DNSSEC secure when queried.
add_ta
$resolver->add_ta( 'trust anchor' );Add a trust anchor which is a string that holds a valid DNSKEY or DS RR in RFC1035 zonefile format.
add_ta_file
$resolver->add_ta_file( 'filename' );Pass the name of a file containing DS and DNSKEY records (as from dig or drill).
add_ta_autr
$resolver->add_ta_autr( 'filename' );Add trust anchor to the given context that is tracked with RFC5011 automated trust anchor maintenance. The file is written when the trust anchor is changed.
trusted_keys
$resolver->trusted_keys( 'filename' );Pass the name of a BIND-style config file containing trusted-keys{}.
debug_out
$resolver->debug_out( out );Send debug output (and error output) to the specified stream. Pass a null argument to disable. Default is stderr.
debug_level
$resolver->debug_level(0);Set verbosity of the debug output directed to stderr. Level 0 is off, 1 minimal, 2 detailed, 3 lots, and 4 lots more.
async_thread
$resolver->async_thread(1);Enable a call to resolve_async() to create a thread to handle work in the background. If false (by default), a process is forked to perform the work.
