12 * The upcall wrapper used to make an arbitrary DNS query.
14 * This function requires the appropriate userspace tool dns.upcall to be
15 * installed and something like the following lines should be added to the
16 * /etc/request-key.conf file:
18 * create dns_resolver * * /sbin/dns.upcall %k
20 * For example to use this module to query AFSDB RR:
22 * create dns_resolver afsdb:* * /sbin/dns.afsdb %k

48 * dns_query - Query the DNS
49 * @type: Query type (or NULL for straight host->IP lookup)
50 * @name: Name to look up
51 * @namelen: Length of name
52 * @options: Request options (or NULL if no options)
53 * @_result: Where to place the returned data.
54 * @_expiry: Where to store the result expiry time (or NULL)
56 * The data will be returned in the pointer at *result, and the caller is
57 * responsible for freeing it.
59 * The description should be of the form "[<query_type>:]<domain_name>", and
60 * the options need to be appropriate for the query type requested. If no
61 * query_type is given, then the query is a straight hostname to IP address
64 * The DNS resolution lookup is performed by upcalling to userspace by way of
65 * requesting a key of type dns_resolver.
67 * Returns the size of the result on success, -ve error code otherwise.
