*** 1,27 ****
! This is the initial checkin version for the move to sourceforge.net
! 
! Release 2.2, Mon Apr 27 22:59:16 EST 1998
  
! This is a test release of the DNS code, as originally written by 
  Guido van Rossum, and with a hopefully nicer API bolted over the
! top of it by Anthony Baxter <an...@in...>. It's also in a 
! python 1.5 package.
  
  There are several known bugs/unfinished bits
  
  - processing of AXFR results is not done yet.
! - something I've done recently has broken the DnsAsyncRequest(). Bummer.
! - doesn't do IPv6 DNS requests (type AAAA) (as per [RFC 1886])
  - docs, aside from this file
  - all sorts of other stuff that I've probably forgotten.
  
  Stuff it _does_ do:
!   processes /etc/resolv.conf - at least as far as nameserver directives go.
!   tries multiple nameservers.
!   nicer API - see below.
!   returns results in more useful format.
!   optional timing of requests.
!   default 'show' behaviour emulates 'dig' pretty closely.
!   support for asyncore.py ### NOTE: currently broken a bit.

! Release 2.3 Mon May  6 16:18:02 EST 2002
  
! This is a another release of the pydns code, as originally written by 
  Guido van Rossum, and with a hopefully nicer API bolted over the
! top of it by Anthony Baxter <an...@in...>. 
! 
! I'm making this release because there hasn't been a release in a 
! heck of a long time, and it probably deserves one. I'd also like to
! do a substantial refactor of some of the guts of the code, and this
! is likely to break any code that uses the existing interface. So
! this will be a release for people who are using the existing API...

+ - the API that I evolved some time ago is pretty ugly. I'm going
+   to re-do it, designed this time.

  name servers can be specified in the following ways:
!   by calling DNS.ParseResolvConf(), which will load the DNS.servers
!     from the system's /etc/resolv.conf file
!   by specifying it as an option to the request
!   by manually setting DNS.defaults['server'] to a list of server IP
      addresses to try
!   XXXX It should be possible to load the DNS servers on a windows or
!     mac box, from where-ever they've squirrelled them away
