*** 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...

+ 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
