Documentation

Overview

Package dnscache contains a minimal DNS cache that makes a bunch of assumptions that are only valid for us. Not recommended for general use.

Types

type DialContextFunc

type DialContextFunc func(ctx context.Context, network, address string) (net.Conn, error)

func Dialer

func Dialer(fwd DialContextFunc, dnsCache *Resolver) DialContextFunc

Dialer returns a wrapped DialContext func that uses the provided dnsCache.

type Resolver

type Resolver struct {
	// Forward is the resolver to use to populate the cache.
	// If nil, net.DefaultResolver is used.
	Forward *net.Resolver

	// TTL is how long to keep entries cached
	//
	// If zero, a default (currently 10 minutes) is used.
	TTL time.Duration

	// UseLastGood controls whether a cached entry older than TTL is used
	// if a refresh fails.
	UseLastGood bool
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Resolver is a minimal DNS caching resolver.

The TTL is always fixed for now. It's not intended for general use. Cache entries are never cleaned up so it's intended that this is only used with a fixed set of hostnames.

func Get

func Get() *Resolver

Get returns a caching Resolver singleton.

func (*Resolver) LookupIP

func (r *Resolver) LookupIP(ctx context.Context, host string) (ip, v6 net.IP, err error)

LookupIP returns the host's primary IP address (either IPv4 or IPv6, but preferring IPv4) and optionally its IPv6 address, if there is both IPv4 and IPv6.

If err is nil, ip will be non-nil. The v6 address may be nil even with a nil error.
