DNS query functions
This module contains query functions for DNS for use from Puppet.
Usage
All functions can take a optional second lambda argument that is called if the lookup returned no values. Then the result of the lambda will be used instead.
dns_lookup
Does a DNS lookup and returns an array of addresses.
dns_a
Retrieves DNS A records and returns it as an array. Each record in the array will be a IPv4 address.
dns_aaaa
Retrieves DNS AAAA records and returns it as an array. Each record in the array will be a IPv6 address.
dns_cname
Retrieves a DNS CNAME record and returns it as a string.
dns_mx
Retrieves DNS MX records and returns it as an array. Each record in the
array will be an array of hashes containing a preference & exchange key.
dns_ptr
Retrieves DNS PTR records and returns it as an array of strings.
dns_srv
Retrieves DNS SRV records and returns it as an array. Each record in the
array will be an array of hashes containing a priority, weight, port and target key.
dns_txt
Retrieves DNS TXT records and returns it as an array. Each record in the array will be a array containing the strings of the TXT record.
3.0.0:
- Add an optional lambda argument that is called and returned instead if the lookup raises an exception or returns an empty result.
- Change return format on dns_srv and dns_mx to an array of hashes. This removes the need for the optional field parameter. That can be fetched using the map function in Puppet 4.x+ instead.
- Use the Puppet 4 function API.
2.0.1:
- correctly convert array of Resolv::IPv4 or Resolv::IPv6 to array strings
2.0.0:
- Raise an exception on empty replies.
