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

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