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

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