Hello,
Has anyone used the pynds resolver libraries? I think I must be missing
something, because I'm just not getting out what I think that I should get.
I'm trying to get a call getIP(domain, nameserver) that will return the
IP of domain, (or at least what that nameserver thinks the IP is).
However, I'm instead getting nothing in the answers, just a bunch of
authority records.
For example:
import DNS
r = DNS.Request(name='yahoo.com', server='151.164.1.1', qtype='A')
a = r.req()
a.show()
; <<>> PDG.py 1.0 <<>> yahoo.com A
;; options: recurs
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode 0, status NOERROR, id 0
;; flags: qr rd; Ques: 1, Ans: 0, Auth: 5, Addit: 5
;; QUESTIONS:
;; yahoo.com, type = A, class = IN
;; ANSWERS:
;; AUTHORITY RECORDS:
yahoo.com 172800L NS ns1.yahoo.com
yahoo.com 172800L NS ns2.yahoo.com
yahoo.com 172800L NS ns3.yahoo.com
yahoo.com 172800L NS ns4.yahoo.com
yahoo.com 172800L NS ns5.yahoo.com
;; ADDITIONAL RECORDS:
ns1.yahoo.com 172800L A 66.218.71.63
ns2.yahoo.com 172800L A 209.132.1.28
ns3.yahoo.com 172800L A 217.12.4.104
ns4.yahoo.com 172800L A 63.250.206.138
ns5.yahoo.com 172800L A 64.58.77.85
;; Total query time: 48 msec
;; To SERVER: 151.164.1.1
;; WHEN: Mon Oct 14 11:19:37 2002
Notice that the ANSWERS section is empty. Not even the tests work:
test5 returns an IndexError for trying to access answers[0]['data'].
Any help? Should I try another library? If so, which one?
Thanks,
VanL
