Readme for hsdns-1.4

[back to package description] 
An asynchronous DNS resolver for Haskell_
=========================================

:Latest Release: hsdns-1.4.tar.gz_
:Darcs:          darcs_ get http://cryp.to/hsdns/

Synopsis
--------

  This library provides an asynchronous DNS resolver on top of
  the `GNU ADNS library`_. Not all options are supported, but A,
  MX, and PTR lookups work nicely. Courtesy of Lutz Donnerhacke
  <lutz@iks-jena.de>, there is also support for retrieving
  generic RR types, CNAMEs, and for NSEC zone walking. The
  library can be expected to work with fine ADNS 1.4 or later. It
  might also work with version ADNS 1.3, but that hasn't been
  tested.

  The example program adns-reverse-lookup.hs_ demonstrates how
  the resolver is used. Given a list of host names on the command
  line, it performs an A/PTR double-lookup and checks whether the
  records are consistent. The output is printed in the order in
  which the DNS responses arrive::

    $ ./adns-reverse-lookup xyz.example.org ecrc.de www.example.com www.cryp.to
    OK: www.example.com <-> 208.77.188.166
    ERR: xyz.example.org: cannot resolve A
    FAIL: www.cryp.to -> 195.234.152.69 -> ["research.cryp.to"]
    FAIL: ecrc.de -> 127.0.0.1 -> ["localhost"]
